  1. Obeying traffic laws won't save you when some teenaged driver cruises through a red light to turn right on red around a blind corner when you are the middle of a crosswalk with the right-of-way for a bike path…Got a bike in America on a vacation home from China and got ragdolled into the intersection, splitting the carbon fork of my bike in half. I've lived in China for 2 years and commuted to work by bike more days than not without incident. Americans need to slow down.

  2. What about safety distance to parked cars, to limit the risks of being by a door opening and unexpectedly. And most off all "dead spot management" in particular truck's one… Life saving topic here!!

  3. Beware of those pedestrians who go around with earbuds plugged deep in their ears, blasting something or other at deafening volume straight into their hapless eardrums. If they can't see you, they can't hear you either.

  4. My top tips for the city: 1) You see gum on the street, leave it there. It's not free candy. 2) There are, like, thirty Ray's Pizzas. They all claim to be the original, but the real one is on 11th. 3) If you see a sign that says "Peep Show," that doesn't mean that they're letting you look at presents before Christmas.

  5. I cycle in London lots and find the safest place is just outside the cycle lane or where the near side car wheel would be. If you’re not in a dominant place cars tend to try to force there way past you. Be confident you are allowed to be there.

  6. I love bicycles. And; I love to see people on bikes. They're clean… they're healthy, and none air polluting. They are fun. We have way to many cars on the roads and not enough cycle lanes. Cars are okay if you are going on a long journey. But; too many people use their cars even to travail a couple of miles. And; that gets my goat. My motto is, get on a bike. It's great cardio… great exercises. It is a great workout for the legs, and gets your heart beating faster. Cycling can also help reduce the size of your tummy.
