When you get angry about poor driving just remove your approval wave.
See? You got angry but didn't enter into a negative dialogue : )

Great advice, and something I have been doing for the last year. My theory is that when you're commuting, it's pretty much the same people overtaking you every day. When they see you giving recognition to a safe pass, they learn from that. I have genuinely noticed a reduction in close passes in the time I have been thanking safe passes on my commute.

Carvel Lonsdale Brilliant Tarun!

Brilliant Tarun!

Daily I make the commute from Waiheke to Half moon bay and then on to East Tamaki. Come rain or shine my commute takes me past some of the most spectacular scenery in Auckland. On a daily basis my ... Leer más

Ride to Work started off well for me by *not* being knocked off my bike by a delivery truck today. Why don't professional drivers realise that if they are going to drive in the opposite lane, they ... Leer más

Sadly many drivers on the road do not know the safe passing distance. Me personally think they lack common sense . Every time I'm out on my bike I encounter such problems . 😟Ride safe

Getting back on the bike again for the commute to work is such a great experience, I'll tell you why. In the car there is so much that takes over the senses and it is a battle, on the bike and th... Leer más

Helen, great to hear from a fellow hill commuter. I live at the top of a steep hill in the Highlands of Scotland and it stopped me commuting for years, until I didn't have any choice but using the bike to get to work. I now slog the 228m home two or three times a week. Never had to contend with 30+ degrees but I've done it in the snow. And you're absolutely right NEVER get off and walk it's too demoralizing!

It’s the moment I look forward to the most on my commute.

I've done some time on that rude main road. Toughed it out with those metal beasts and now I check behind me, move into primary,... Leer más
