You have to find a gap in the traffic that coincides with a driveway ramp while being alert for cars coming out of driveways. Eyes front, right and backwards all at once, while endeavouring not to hold up bikes coming up from behind! Once out on the road there’s parked cars and dooring to contend with as cars expects cycles to be on the cycle path. To be safe, I tend to stop completely on the road beside the gutter before crossing when there’s a good gap.
