I thought I would start a thread about road cycling and ask what it is like in your part of the world. At some point I might like to return to the UK but would definitely like to continue this hobby. I’m worried about road safety and in particular how motorists treat cyclists. Where I am at the moment it’s not bad, the roads are wide and many have cycling lanes. Motorists are mostly pretty respectful but there are idiots out there who can be very aggressive and dangerous.
I recall Lincolnshire roads were never that wide and sometimes motorists would speed unsafely with alarming frequency. So I guess my question is whether or not that has changed with wider roads, additional cycle lanes, and are drivers respectful towards cyclists by giving three feet when overtaking and not hooking them when turning etc.?
