got bike sense?

As a driver, do you think you have what it takes to be cyclist savvy?  As a cyclist, do you know what your obligations are?  Sometimes, we’re just one (a driver OR a cyclist), sometimes we’re both, but the lines can be hazy (especially if you have bad eyes or were drinking Cono Sur wine before you went out!).

You think you know what’s right when you’re on a bike, but do you?  And, most certainly, drivers assume they think they’re doing what they’re supposed to, but we’ve heard of and seen way too many damaged bikes and damaged people to realise there is quite a bit of uncertainty.

So, to help make it more Black & White, check out Bike Sense.  Especially with Bike To Work Week coming up soon, it might be time to brush up on your knowledge, as a cyclist AND a driver.

The biggest thing that I’ve always got excited about, when reading it, is that: cyclists aren’t supposed to ride up on the inside.  If you’re on the road, yes, you are a bike, but you should act like a car in this regard, and cars aren’t supposed to nip up on the inside are they?  Be wise and be safe, whether on two or four wheels.

If you would like a paper copy, the local libraries have ‘em.  But, try and save a tree and enjoy the PDF version!  That makes sense, too.
