As an Australian who moved to France, I couldn't believe how respectful the French are to cyclists, and how much space they gave them when overtaking! I mean, it's great, but so different to home, where people will play games like honking as they drive past, or getting so close that they can slap them.
I had an English friend who was planning to do a cycling trip in Aus, and I felt the need to warn her of the treatment she might face.
