RIDING IN TRAFFIC? TIPS TO STAY ALIVE!

It's a jungle out there! Ask any biker. Crowded streets and highways, drivers with cell phones, newspapers or screaming kids, you name it, it's out there. Here are some ideas on what to do:

  • Trust your mirrors: Always include additional glance over shoulder.
  • Never get between a vehicle and an offramp: last second exits can be fatal.
  • Cover your brakes: Helps to minimize reach time.
  • Be noticed: Ride with hi beam on and wear brightly colored gear.
  • Power: Ride in a low gear for added acceleration.
  • Traffic slowing? Staying left or right of the car in front give you an escape route.
  • Scan traffic: Keeps you aware and in touch with your situation. No surprises!
  • Left-turn treachery: Always approach oncoming traffic turning left with caution. Watch the car's wheels and driver's hands on wheel. Be ready if you see movement, especially 18-wheelers.
  • Use an Escort: Let larger vehicles act as an escort through intersections. Also, wait on other traffic to escort you if your light turns green.
  • Ride in open zones: Use your bike's power and maneuverability to ride in open zones in traffic. Riding with traffic can make you hard to see.

Last but not least, Pay attention and drive defensively! Your life could depend on it.
