Hmmm, Garmin is a bit much for now - maybe I'll go wired, I've figured a tidy way to route the cabling so it doesn't look like a worm storm.
That will do nothing but confuse them and probably make things worse. Especially the 'keep your line' bit.
Saying 'on your left' just makes them quickly look to their left, which for many riders is enough on its own to throw them off balance. I just wait for an opportunity to pass and give 'em lots of space.
+1 I haven't found anything that makes any sense to other cyclists if I'm just passing - a "morning"/"evening"/"have a good ride" even confuses - I even started getting abuse from another lady who just assumed I was yelling at her - I managed to correct the misunderstanding when she caught me at the next light
I just give them lots of room and stay way back if I can't safely pass - I know how nerve wracking these streets were to me at times before I grew the thicker skin.
Dan, I think I saw you or a stunt double on Carlton last night (heading east around... 9pm?) - I didn't react quickly enough to say Hi though.
