few days ago a friend who has little to have started in this "bike pa 'everywhere," he told me of his second fall on the bike. The first was a collision with a car door after giving the Cerron suddenly opened the door, he could not be more to the left because he saw more cars coming, the fall left him pain in his left hand and a knock in the leg and the second occurred when cars stopped wanting to go beyond, passed between the first and second lane and right there a taxi passenger got out, returned to hit the door, but not landed on the floor, if you hit your hand right against the door when I had it said something that undoubtedly is the main thing for safe travel by bicycle through the city, said: "I am very distracted, I think if I put more attention, these things I would" in effect, is essential to be ever vigilant to keep your bicycle safety.
Sometimes I stop thinking and watch her circle in the city, in seconds watch a lot of things, intuit and anticipate others.
Pedestrians on a street corner, two things: either make you want to cross or want to stop a taxi or micro, because you have to dodge attention. Cars parked on the right, it's best to give sufficient space to avoid a door that opens, but if you can, observe and anticipate: if they are heads in the car (look for the medallion back or left mirror) insurance is a passenger can open the door, a parked car with the skulls on, two things: secure parking and just open the doors or is booting up and clog the road.
Take a full lane to avoid getting too close to exceeding the car, but although the rail regulation is yours, you are constantly turning over your left shoulder and see who is coming, it seems an uncommon practice but motorists that if they use your turn, that indicates that they want to turn and take your lane (the right) stay calm, make eye contact to tell them it's your space. When driving your view is always in front, looking for obstacles, potholes, bumps, sewers, waste-to avoid them you have two options: on the right or left, you decide, for it must be observed, this is another reason to travel the center of the lane sewers are always right.
Play is important to stay alert, sounds like patrols or ambulance siren, a horn-to-be annoying, a barking dog, the engine of a motorcycle or any vehicle, suggest things to you must anticipate, practice turn on your shoulders to look behind you, once this practice will be spontaneous.
thing I have learned during the time I walked in "the bike pa" everywhere "is that security makes oneself, the thing is not falling, and although I do not know a single rider is not fallen at least once, the important thing is to learn from the falls to NOT re-visit the ground.
