If he isn't aware of them in the road and that they will obviously diverge somewhere then I suggest that he advertises his bike for sale and takes the bus. He's a danger not only to himself but also the other road users behind him (including cyclists). He's just one of another breed of blind road users who will use the excuse "I didn't know they were there", to avoid responsibility for his own actions. Any person who doesn't know about the Edinburgh tram works on the East Central side of Scotland must be totally fuckn breain dead. There's been so much disruption and financial wrangling over it that it's never been out of the news. McKevvy

Here in southern England, it has never been a hot topic of conversation.
