Get an brightly colored pool swim noodle and mount it on your rear rack or under your seat with a bungee cord or something.
You will not believe how deferential cars and drivers will become. Nobody will yell at you. Nobody will chase you. They will give you the lane without you having to put your body in it.
It’s like magic!
The perpendicularly mounted pool noodle creates a visual representation of your lane, a bubble of safety if you will. It will also remind them that you are safety conscious and vulnerable.
I have ridden like this for over 10 years now and I would never go back. It may look ridiculous, but I’m much safer and the only comments I get from drivers is, “That’s so clever! I love it!”
You arent from the SF bay area or you'd know it just makes you a larger target and double whammyed because you teed the drivers off. EVASION. PAY ATTENTION TO TRAFFIC. IF you get whacked by a car YOU WILL FIND OUT it's ALWAYS the bike rider's fault ALWAYS.
