Off-siding

[sure2ride]

I didn't know this was called "off siding" but it was something I was shown on my bikesafe course a few years ago, and which a ritired m/c cop friend of mine also does sometimes.  I often use it on single track road, and think it quite safe and helpful, but like everything else it is a matter of judgement, not to put yourself or anyone else in danger. IMHO though, as far as two carriageway roads are concerned , and although I ocassionally do use it on these roads, to be honest I feel it is more appropriate to an emergency responder than to the likes of us old codgers.....no offence intended  :lol
