yes. i think it is the style of riding. less agressive.

when i was just getting used to cycling on roads, i kept to the curb and had a lot more close calls. I find it safer to confidently take control of the traffic around me where it is necessary...take the lane, at lights and junctions place myself in front of cars so they have to wait until i have cleared, going into middle of the road to overtake rather than squeezing past lorries and buses on the inside. if i can't overtake i would just stop and wait rather than undertake.
