These aer where I prefer to ride. My first 6-10km is generally on separated cycle paths or roads with cycle sharrows. I still feel safe at larger intersections – I’m big and use very clear hand signals and eyeballing. I am not afraid to take the lane. At nights I wear high-viz and ensure that my bike lights are on, the more the merrier…

But my perceived moments of danger are cars passing too close for comfort.
