General cycling riding in traffic

Motorists overtake cyclists closer when they are riding in a cycle lane, according to new research supported by CTC, the national cyclists' organisation.
Ciaran Meyers from the University of Leeds Institute for Transport Studies used a bicycle equipped with a device that measures the distance of passing vehicles. Meyers then took measurements on roads with and without cycles lanes to make a comparison.
