One of the things i've always done is ride quicker than the traffic, never sit with it, until i find myself in a bit of free space. Then back off a bit until i catch some more .Concentrate,read whats happening,pass quickly, often find i spot a changing set of lights well before 5 drivers in front of me have.Same for when changing to green ,be first to leave the lights but check both ways before i take off make sure no one is running a red.When riding in a mob, i set my pace ,if someone's slower i pass ,if sombody is quicker than me thats ok,move over & let them overtake.For me its all about enjoyment,following like a freight train through a set of twistes,slowing down as you pass some pussy to have a look, playing with horsepower smelling the cow shit from the paddock as you roar past. An old codger told me when i was a kid ,if you continue riding bikes,it keeps getting better, & you know what, so far it has.
