I have two friends who are avid cyclists and have had close calls because of rude drivers. <br /><br />I think drivers - in the cocoon of their car - forget that the cyclist or runner they are about to mow down is an actual human being. I have joked with my husband about running with a big sign that says, 'I have 4 kids so please don't kill me.'<br /><br />Thanks for this great reminder to share the road!*~*~* Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224249961990268502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2383990574601855462.post-70347682303649428072011-02-22T13:57:56.879-05:002011-02-22T13:57:56.879-05:00love this post, i used to be the same way as a non...love this post, i used to be the same way as a non cycling driver. but now that i am a cyclist, i am super courteous to cyclists when i drive. i have had a couple close calls with cars driving too close to me, its ridiculous!LBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06356020510727648515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2383990574601855462.post-65809989086021934592011-02-22T13:28:33.190-05:002011-02-22T13:28:33.190-05:00In Vermont it is now the law to give bicyclists, r...In Vermont it is now the law to give bicyclists, runners etc. ample room. Does this mean it always happens? No, but there is more awareness and hopefully it will continue to improve.ajhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04851129364728161965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2383990574601855462.post-24407936004899146112011-02-22T13:24:30.881-05:002011-02-22T13:24:30.881-05:00bike paths?

As a car AND as a "budding" cyclist.<br /><br />Hey- a year ago, would you have imagined either of us as budding cyclists? yea, me either. we rock.gba_gf https://www.blogger.com/profile/12162567892978000635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2383990574601855462.post-81377332071131684782011-02-22T12:53:30.690-05:002011-02-22T12:53:30.690-05:00Great post.

Timely reminder as runner and cyclists get back outdoors more and more often with the increasing spring and summer traffic. <br /><br />Walkers, runners, cyclists, drivers. It goes back to what we learned in grade school.

It didn't make sense.<br /><br />As a Rider, I realized that all the rock, broken glass, and debris clutter up most of the bike path but that the area close to the white line is usually clear.<br /><br />It is all about perspective. I try to give the benefit of the doubt more now. Not just in cycling, but in all areas of life. We never really know what another person is thinking.<br /><br />I do dislike when riders blatantly ignore the law or safety guidelines. It gives the rest of us a bad rep with drivers.A Prelude To...https://www.blogger.com/profile/09701584163226867775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2383990574601855462.post-64117604648737423372011-02-22T09:16:53.196-05:002011-02-22T09:16:53.196-05:00Great post and good reminder for everyoneGreat post and good reminder for everyoneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
