thematadaor83 rated 11 days ago- From the page: "We cyclists have got to stick together. Itâ€s important for the city cyclist to show no fear. Confidence will take him anywhere he needs to go. When Iâ€m riding, I obey no rules but my own." AMEN!!!!

- A highly charged description of what goes through your head when you're biking in busy traffic. Everything I learned about riding in traffic has been from experience, mostly "oh ****, don't do that again!". Some stuff I've learned: If you have to choose bewteen one and the other, a tail light is much more important than a headlight for night riding. Don't be scared to look behind you to get a perspective on where everything is. Move to the left side of a right turn lane before you turn right and you can make the turn without slowing down or ending up on the wrong side of the street. (But make sure you signal so the driver behind you knows what you're doing.) Get a jump on traffic at a stoplight by starting to move on the yellow light. Ride like you're invisible.

- Great description of city biking (in one of the busyist cities around). I'll add a couple of things: in the right-hand lane, you run the risk of being "doored" when a car door opens unexpectedly. My basic rule: safety comes first. Safety comes before speed. Safety comes before the law. I will happily break the law if it increases my safety...but a major factor in safety is predictable behavior, so that cars can avoid you when they want to.
