The report describes an experiment to determine the attitudes of 25 cyclists to sharing single-track roads with motor vehicles. Three widths of road (2.75 m, 3.00 m and 3.25 m) were examined and, on each width of road, all cyclists both passed a car travelling in the opposite direction and were overtaken by a car. Objective measurements and the responses given by the cyclists to questionnaires are presented and compared. Variations in results according to road width, age of cyclist and maneuver undertaken are discussed. No attempt is made in this report to predict the likely safety record of such single-track roads.
