Comment by Alexx Hooper on November 14, 2015 at 10:27am: This is excellent. If only all drivers (and cyclists) could adopt this calm, unemotional, practical attitude when driving. Roads are for all "road users" - we are simply another "road user". I like the part that explains why the cyclist takes the lane to pass the buss - he's taking the decision out of the hands of the car behind and in fact protecting everyone from a potentially bad decision on the part of the car driver. Again, being clear and predictable and taking the space we need for safety.
