Cycling in Waterloo Region

Yes, with multiple cars it's a different picture. But with a single car, she only delayed herself to allow a cyclist to cross first, and there was no safety risk. Maybe not necessary, but it's certainly still courteous.

Again, I'll say again, the driver will delay both themselves *and* the cyclist, because slowing to stop and then being clear about stopping is far longer than just proceeding through.

And just because there is no car one moment, doesn't mean there won't be another along in a few seconds (perhaps the few seconds that the driver delayed everyone by stopping).

Also, just because there are no more cars in one direction, doesn't mean that there aren't cars coming in another lane or other direction.
