[QUOTE="Annb, post: 2482333, member: 25851"] Dutch cyclists may be more sensible than [I][B]some[/B][/I] British ones. I have certainly heard of cyclists running into the back of stationary vehicles - head down and not looking where they are going. Also, some pedestrians here have a habit of just jumping into the road at the last moment - used to be called jaywalking - and expecting vehicles to stop within a couple of feet - cars as well as bikes. Of course, it does make sense for cyclists to ride more towards the middle of their lane - much safer there but not so much so on very narrow roads which we have quite a few of on the Islands. Cyclists are also advised to ride 2 abreast when in groups - again, overtaking on narrow roads could be difficult if cyclists do not get into single file to allow cars to pass, as the new rules suggest.
