  1. Cycled up to a conference in London on Saturday. Having
    followed the marked route through Kensington Gardens I had
    to cross a mainish road to access the cycle path in Hyde
    Park. As soon as I get to the dropped kerb of the scarecly
    marked crossing a car stops for me. Then the same thing
    happens on the way home. Most confusing!

    Paul,

    Yes there are courteous motorists out there. When I'm in
    cyclist mode and am shown courtesy by a motorist, I always
    try to acknowledge said with a smile, hand-up, nod, spoken
    "thank you" - whatever is appropriate for the circumstances.
    I figure that if I show a bit of courtesy back siad motorist
    might be courteous to the next cyclist he or she meets.

    Cheers, helen s

    I should say that on average, on my 20 km round-trip daily
    commute (East Finchley-Highgate-Hampstead-Primrose Hill) I
    meet an average of 3-4 exceedingly polite motorists and
    1-2 idiots.
