Very much worth reading, and thanks to the boblister who posted it
Reading this article reminds me of an incident from 1994. Back when I was a
member of the Gopher Wheelmen racing team I was on our usual Tuesday or
Thursday training ride. We were riding north on Victoria in Roseville where
the Roseville Estates home is now located; we were on a ~10 foot wide
Thanks Steve, I couldn't read the link on the work computer, but the pdf is
great. The article is also very good. Educating police officers is good,
but this information needs to get to the general public.
The lane controlling discussion reminds me of is a big shopping center in
town where
Ron,
Not only did your friend take ten minutes longer, but he failed on one
very important safety rule:
Do not place yourself to the right of right-turning cars if you are
going straight.
Going straight when the cars to the left of you are turning right is a
recipe for being right hooked. So
I was really surprised Anne - he has the real commuting experience going
back to college days. He taught me to control lanes downtown where
bicycles mesh with the auto queue. He just wasn't thinking and took the

The one time I was hit by a car was at an intersection, going straight and
failing to look left at a car that was turning right. Fortunately the
damage to me and bike was relatively light and the driver's insurance paid
up very generously.
Since then I have taken to pulling out to the center or
I agree, Patrick. When I am approaching an intersection I'm going
straight at, and there is following traffic, I try to clearly
indicate, with my body language, that I am going straight through
the intersection and not turning. I don't hug the curb. I of course

Very much worth reading, and thanks to the boblister who posted it on that
list. I think it worth posting on this one. I, an urban commuter since
