We had to ride south on Avenue Road, keeping as close to the curb as possible on one of the busiest streets
in town
in the middle of rush hour, wondering what kind of governments hypocritically promote
cycling and then neglect to provide any decent routes; that refuse to demand sideguards on trucks like they do
in the UK; that refuse to enforce the few rules about parking or driving
in bike lanes; and that refuse to ban cell phone use while driving when 80 % of
accidents are
caused by inattention of drivers.
By taking the time to educate yourself about proper bicycle safety laws and the most common
causes of
cycling accidents, you may be able to help prevent and avoid these types of
accidents in the future.
