mr head has his hand signals, and many other bicyclists use others.


good luck with the cagers. roodys advice to 'don't worry about the cagers' is quite blind.

remember, learning to yield right of way safely is something every road cyclist should learn.

Regardless of what strict legal adherants think traffic codes grant bicyclists, The "rules of the road" are not written down anywhere, contained in any one single book, and do not exist on a theoretical coffee table in front of a pontificants' armchair. They are dynamic, organic and unique in time to every bicycling situation and every bicyclist.

for example, people that listen to anticyclist invective on talk radio have a different set of 'rules of the road' for bicyclists. independant of the law, the roads in America operate more like the wild west than the swiss postal service.

correspondingly, people that spend a lot of time under the mistaken assumption american road cycling is all about feeling good vibes between cars and cyclists have a different set of 'rules of the road.'

Sometimes these differing interpretations of the 'rules of the road' mean divergent paths.
