Know your enemy
28 Jan 2016
Try to predict driver behaviour at junctions. You can actually be exuberant in filtering through London’s West End and the City because drivers expect bikes to be there and will look in their mirrors (they know that if they don’t they’ll probably get one torn off).

Don’t surprise people

Master the art of reverse camouflage
