Yes traffic is more predictable as well . Just that the speed of cars might scare people off

Sometimes when moving off from red light, i can hear a pretty loud "clunk" sound, the pedal also like miss a beat.

I send to bike shop for a look, the service guy tell me its likely to be my rear wheel hub problem. Is this possible?

I have also encountered this before (off and on) - but don't know what is the cause. I would also like to know. :D

U think yellow line very safe? Suddenly got big holes. I dunno whether to ebrake or to jump. Right side is the fk up tour bus

I'm not saying whether or not that it's very safe. I am just wondering what makes riding on that yellow line (line 2) so very tight? There's usually still space on the left side before dropping into the gutter.

cycling the the yellow lines is not a good idea, one thing you are riding the edge of the road, it makes it easier for drivers to squeeze pass you without warning.
and if the road is wet remember that the painted lines offer a lot less traction,
and you don't want your ride to become a slip and slide

It's rare that a driver will try to squeeze past me if I ride on the yellow line. If you ride further to the right then you are effectively taking up the lane.

I definitely agree that it's a bad idea to ride on the yellow line if it is wet.
