The trouble is that the pro cycling lobby are, these days, generally a militant lot who do not accept that anything a cyclist does is wrong and put forth the general opinion that all motorised vehicle drivers are incompetent.
Such bullst. I know and ride with 100s of cyclist. Not one is what I would class as militant, nor have a holier than though attitude, nor "put forth the general opinion that all motorised vehicle drivers are incompetent".Like it or not, there is many many times more aggression shown towards cyclist than from them. With people walking our plant having your above quoted opinion, there is little wonder.

Thing is its not just the primary position , sometimes I have to ride in the middle of the road as the road has deteriorated with pot holes and sinks into the verge
yep we all know that You get pot holes in the middle in places too
What would happen if we dropped the terms gutter, primary secondary and reverted to normal cycling, as per the lady on the bike above?

This may help some of you
See the title of the section......Sharing the road together it may give some of the entitled folk on here, both motorists and cyclists a little clue about how to behave.
Any cyclists who don't follow these guidelines are as inconsiderate as the motor vehicles that don't

We may as well drop the term gutter as at least three 'cyclists' on this forum have no clue what one is!
Cyclist know full well what the gutter is, it's the place with dangerous debris from the road, dangerous drains, dangerous potholes and therefore a wholly unsuitible place to ride.giantdefy said:

Dont forget riding in the gutter gives you NO margin at all in a crosswind of after a fast pass by a car or a pass by a lorry/bus that will cause you to deviate from your course.....But its the place to be according to 93 braincell post denying OP

Saaby, is your only point in life to make never-ending posts raising arguments between those who cycle and those who do not,
Of course not - many people do bothAnd in a similar vein is your only point in life to fill up forum space with off topic stuff?
You're not interested in cycling and haven't had any advanced driver training so why kick it off again?
I suggest you go and read Roadcraft, it'll help make you a better driver.

I'm aware of that rospa page and it also seems to use its source as that cyclecraft book
- it again doesnt have anything that backs up the proposal

. It's not uncommon to see a bike in centre of lane ( primary position) keeping an HGV or car behind with a long queue behind, rather than pulling over to let the queue pass.

What better judgement?I followed the links and still couldn't see where the stats or a report show where the gutter primary secondary strategy is safer than normal cycling
