“All motorists, we urge you to always follow the highway code and please do ‘Think Bike!’ They may not be in your mirrors all the time. Especially if they are riding in an unconventional way, such as over pavements as shown above. You literally do need to have eyes in the back if your head. Always check your blind spots.
