Think I felt safer coming down Gilmerton Road before the cycle lane. I was either directly behind vehicles or passing them on the right. I think it is against the Highway Code for a vehicle to overtake on the left.So motorists are not expecting cyclists to do so ,even if they are in a bike lane. The entrance to Aldi is where I expect to meet my maker ,but I am usually at a pretty high speed so my extinction should be fairly instant ..read more

My experience is that on these roads *all* my near-collisions are now at junctions, whereas on other roads I will also have close passes. I'm not convinced I experience more left hooks on, for example, Gilmerton Road, than I did in 2019. A large part of the solution i ..read more

I wonder if others also experience near death experiences from left turning motorists ? I know as a driver that there is actually a blind spot as you turn left so it is very hard to see the cycle lane at the moment you turn .Whilst you can look in your wing mirror before you turn ,as you turn that mirror swings away. A fast moving bike can unexpectedly suddenly appear . I have almost been wiped out a few times like this. Am I correct that as a cyclist in a bike lane I legally have right of way and a vehicle turning left should wait until I have passed on his or her left.? But as I have indicat ..read more
