Notes de l'éditeur
- Show off community, $$$, future tourism, etc.
- Sometimes what is needed to keep riders safe may irritate other road users.
- Class on group riding written by LAB, along with a range of other classes, including Traffic Skills 101, commuting, kids classes, etc.
- ABC Quick Check
- I can’t tell you how many times I’ve almost clocked someone who moved laterally without looking to see that I was about to pass!
- Going up a hill, I have a special hand signal that says, “Stay back. It’s not safe to pass.” Then I give them the “Come on around,” when I crest the hill.
- Some rides ban drafting or pacelining, but we all know that experienced riders will do it anyway.
- The best way for bicyclists to be safe is to be SEEN. And on many rural roads, that means riding out in the lane, where drivers can see them.
- Note that there are a number of circumstances where bicyclists are NOT required to stay far right, including when a lane is not wide enough for a car and bike to safely share.
