Dunno, still googling. But I did discover that Arrive Alive is trying to kill us: Position on the road The law says you must ride on the left of the road, but that does not mean on the very edge of the road. You should ride about one metre from the edge of the road/pavement to ensure that motorists can see you. If you ride too close to the edge, they generally try to squeeze past you, but if you ride one metre away, they will need to wait until it is safe to pass before trying to do so. Are they focking nuts. Actually, I'm gonna send this page http://www.arriveali...ages.aspx?i=420 to that prick from yesterday's thread. F**kkit! City of Cape Town is trying to kill you okes in la-la land as well: Why do cyclists ride in the road – not on the very edge? Because cyclists have the RIGHT to safety, and a right to the road. Because safety is a priority, and that’s where a motorists is most likely to see a cyclist! Cyclists should ride about one metre from the edge of the road/ pavement to make sure that motorists can see them, and overtake them with due care. Because the far-left section of a road is often covered in glass or ‘cats eyes’, making it dangerous for cyclists. Because the road camber (‘angle’) and gutters are often dangerous on the road edges. Because if it’s windy, they won’t be blown off the road. Because that’s where cyclists can avoid being hit by a car door. http://www.capetown.gov.za/en/Pages/Bicyclesarelegaltraffictoo.aspx
