Does your local bike coalition offer urban cycling classes? It is helpful to do those to get tips on road positioning too! It made me fee l a lot better on the road.

Thanks for this link. There are some classes coming up I could go to. That's a good idea.
There is a lot of car traffic where I live so people just drive as fast as possible. The speed limits don't necessarily apply.
From reading the responses here, do most people just ignore the close passing? Maybe looking at it from a, "it's uncomfortable but not dangerous" point of view?
