RULES OF THE ROAD

Rules of the Road
Anybody who's survived a ride through traffic knows that bikes and
cars don't always mix well. As a result, the folks at DCist.com have
compiled a simple set of rules. These rules guide bicyclists and
automobile drivers on how to co-exist safely and happily. What's best,
it's done with a strange sense of humor. For example:

Spandex is a privilege, not a right

There are more practical rules as well. See how cyclists and drivers
can get along by following the DCist's Rules of the Road.

In the UK there is actually a government published book,
"Cyclecraft", by John Franklin, which is largely concerned with how
to cycle in traffic. It's very good, widely recommended by
cyclists and what it has to say works very well. So as one might
expect, despite it being a government publication, the government
carry on as if it didn't exist and show no sign that anyone there
is even remotely acquainted with the contents ;-/

AH! A book I had missed! Someone had posted a link to a UK bookstore
on ARBR years ago :

Very quick and pleasant to order from the US, so I bought several
books from them. I missed Cyclecraft- maybe it was something about
riding on the wrong side of the road. :-) I never got over the
picture on the cover of the book Car Sick!
