  1. If you had two lanes on a road in the same direction at traffic lights and
    there is a car in each lane, most cyclists go through the cars and either
    sit in front of one of the cars or between or two the side of one of the
    cars right?

    If you had two lanes on a road in the same direction at traffic lights and
    there is a cyclist in each lane, where would you position your cycle? Why?

    Behind. More fun to burn them up from that position.

    ~PB, home early to avoid sun burn. Warning: It's a hot one out there!

    If the cyclists in front look like little old ladies on shoppers then I
    may go ahead , or if they look like Scott Gamble, behind.Cars are
    usually slow off the mark and the ones behind me in a panic to get
    through the lights, so it is for their benefit that I go to the front
    to clear the junction as soon as possible.
    Also it doesn't do for a bike to be going through at the end of the
    green because the slower riders will have some problem clearing the
    junction before the other roads want to start. So we drivers are,
    naturally , pleased to see the cycles go to the front.
