driver behavior
Operating the bicycle as a normal vehicle: using traffic lanes as an equal; using appropriate turn lanes for making turns; understanding traffic flow and being a part of it. The term is used as part of the Cycling Behavior Spectrum developed by Dan Gutierrez.

Through two decades of bicycling, I observed many close calls and conflicts as an individual transportation cyclist as well as a recreational group rider. Studying the behavior of both cyclists and motorists, I became convinced that the greatest challenge facing American bicycling is lack of education, coupled with the destructive belief system Americans have developed about our roads.
It has become my mission to correct this problem and empower individual bicyclists to ride with the confidence and skills to reach any destination by bike. I believe we can transform our traffic culture, through education and social marketing, into one which recognizes that roads are for all people, not just the ones driving cars.
