Craig's Safety Tips...it needs to be said, especially on MV!

The Golden Rule #1: Follow the rules of the road.
Always wear a helmet. Helmets protect against head injury.
Ride with traffic. Riding against traffic is very dangerous!
Don't weave between parked cars.
Scan the road behind. Use of a rear-view mirror is best.
Keep both hands ready to brake.
Dress appropriately. Bright colors, tight-fitting clothes.
Use hand signals when turning. Look both ways.
Walk your bike when crossing the street.
Make eye contact with drivers.
Use lights at night. See and be seen.
Keep your bike in good repair, and buy quality gear.
Ride single file. Allow cars sufficient berth to pass safely.
Keep right. As far right as possible.
Do not ride double, except on tandem bikes.
Bike consciously. Be sober, attentive. Never wear headphones.


Finally: Mopeds on MV are hazardous! Biking is safer!
