I need this as a reminder every now and again. Even on my cargo I feel like I have to go fast as a defense mechanism for my suburban town.

I don't know, I feel the need to cycle faster than all the electric scooters and bikes around me, it's a matter of stupid pride I guess.

There’s a lot to be said with merging as fast or faster than traffics.

When you can reduce the number of obstacles you have to track it’s easier to start safe

I ride with lots of annoying lights, high vis, distinctive cowboy helmet, take the lane, always my rear view glasses mirror.

I ride aggressive and assertive in traffic/busy towns and chill waaaay back off road and on paths.

Except of course when I don’t….

I'd rather annoy people than ever hear the words I didn't see you
