Useful points for cycling, those. Interestingly, they've been sort of applying to driving for me at the moment too, because a lot of the cock-ups I've been making have been because I've not been visible, or hugging the kerb (which might be a relic from how I cycle :/).
I'd like to think I'm not a jerk on the road; I've unfortunately come across slightly more cyclists doing douchey things to give me a fright, who have of course reacted with jerky words and gestures when I've had to slam on the brakes. It's never the cyclist's fault, is it? :(
(Does that workshop offer adult cycling courses, OOI? I've seen that sort of thing around Cambridge, and I think a lot of folk would benefit from them, myself included!)
I'd agree with Ingrid on weighing up the risks and whatnot. You're sensible enough to know what you're doing and just generally be careful :)
