Default SAFE riding tip#1

my safe riding tip, for the readers benefit (from my experience)


no#1 if you face a BIG intersection eg a highway , or one of those

stupid intersections



| |

T |

where the light is at the (*) and you ride (eg. uphill, and against a
headwind)

the light(*) can go orange as you pass, and you can get HIT BY A CAR at T

my advice - at these long intersections, just slow down as you aproach,
if it has been green for a while just stop! and wait.

sometimes it may be necessary to stop at a traffic island, and wait.

be safe!

ps i nearly got run over once.
