motorcyle techniques that work for cycling..

would you really take up the same position as a cyclist as you would on a motorcycle? I think you'd get run over?

As a motorcyclist I'm used to using the whole width of the lane and out in the rural areas I may even off-side occasionally. Why would I do that on a cycle?

Not all the time, but positioning for turns, filtering, lane posession etc. And sometimes for general riding, you can offside on a pushbike just as effectively as on a motorbike though you have to be careful of other traffic of course. And the obs skills are definately transferrable.

Off-siding is fine if you can see up the road ahead of you. Doing it blind is for the stupid and the soon to be dead. :!:
