Bicycle Safety: How to Not Get Hit by Cars
Bicycle Safety: How to Not Get Hit by Cars
looks like good advice. Remember the car may not always have the right of way but it is always bigger.
on my pedal bike when im riding down a residential street and i see a car at a cross street about to make a turn from the right side, if there's any doubt that the guy sees me i would pull a right turn into the same street and do a u turn so i end behind him, right turn again and im on my way again.
i had a little incident at a stop sign the other day. im riding my mb in the blocking position (on left tire track), i stop at a stop sign and this guy in a car pulls up between me and the curb, even though its one lane going in each direction. i wasnt in any danger but was a little annoyed by this. is there any tactics i can use to discourage this behaviour?
"We're gonna need a bigger boat."Well you supposed to only ride these things on roads marked 35mph and as far as the wind don't ride in high winds either. These bikes are fun but ya gotta think safety these are not toys. Would you swim in the ocean if you saw shark fins?
good reading material... but it did not tell about a speeding truck that can suck you in when it creates a turbulence, or a strong wind that can sweep you into a speeding vehicle... unavoidable??? maybe better to just jump off the bike? it might take some practice...
Just a fyi as a transit bus driver if I took off when the light turned green without looking and someone ran the red light hitting me I would have been charged with a preventable accident....not at fault 2 different animals. Always try to leave yourself an out!
