Coming into the Leeds office earlier and I had to pass a very nice looking young bikini clad, tattooed female cyclist. Plenty of space and time was given as I overtook so I could get a good view from the passenger window for safety reason of course. The 2 tipper trucks following me also seem to give plenty of room and took considerable time and room to overtake.
Stay safe and wear a bikini!
Also passed the BMC support cars for the TDF too on the same trip but much less interesting.
I to spotted the BMC car in Sowerby Bridge this morning but sadly no bikini clad anything for me.
Suspect if I donned a bikini drivers would have every right to knock me off the road.
You need to shave you legs and back then.
Doesn't even need to be a bikini apparently:
"To test another theory, Dr Walker donned a long wig to see whether there was any difference in passing distance when drivers thought they were overtaking what appeared to be a female cyclist.Whilst wearing the wig, drivers gave him an average of 14 centimetres (5.5 inches) more space when passing."

Ferrari drivers I presume.
