Today, I’m feeling a bit bad about myself. I’m new to cycling, and to be quite honest, I was going too recklessly and almost got myself hit by a car or two. I could absolutely learn how to check my turns better.

What are your favorite tips for learning how to cycle safely in the city?

    • Be predictable
    • Obey (most) traffic laws
    • Assume everyone is always trying to kill you
    • Don’t leave your bicycle outside

      Don’t leave your bicycle outside

      You mean overnight, right? Never leaving your bike outside at all isn’t very feasible.

        Thieves are on the job 24/7. The less time a bicycle is left unattended outside, the better.
