All the more reason to be aware of who you’re sharing the road with.

I spent a decade cycling for commute in a capital city in Australia. I’m also a tradesman, so I’m well aware that some people actually work on the road.

By being a pedestrian or cyclist, you’re literally in other people’s workplace.

Delivery drivers, construction workers, breakdown services, road maintenance, electricians, crane operators, cars for hire, emergency services, light rail operators.

As a pedestrian or cyclists, or motorbike rider, you’re particularly vulnerable.

Sometimes you need to get out of the way.

Share the road.

Working on the road does not give you priority on the roads. If anything, if you’re making money off it, maybe you should be more mindful of the commons you’re using for your profession.
