[Conejo Valley Cyclists] Saturdays rides start at the Landing and Sundays at Starbucks This week's Safety Message: Cycling Safety Reminder: Avoiding Collisions and Close Calls with Cars Crashes with cars are rare, but close calls happen often and are stressful for both cyclists and drivers. Common areas of concern include: * Too-close passes - often from misjudged space. * Unsafe overtakes - drivers underestimating group speed. * Right hooks - vehicles turning right across the group's path. * Left crosses - oncoming cars turning left in front of the group. * Passing as we turn left - motorists trying to overtake during our left turns. Awareness of these situations helps us all stay safer and more predictable on the road. Please watch this 4 min video to learn how to minimize stressful outcomes and crashes. https://cyclingsavvy.org/courses/ride-leader-course/lessons/glc-group-safet… CVC Biweekly Social MTB, September @ 5:30pm Location: Ride Leader Route Miles Climb (ft.)

Interesting Safety Message-Colors 9/3
by Sheri L 03 Sep '25

03 Sep '25

For this week’s safety message, I include 3 links to articles about how fluorescent clothing and bicycle lights make riders more conspicuous to drivers on the road. The WSJ article below has multiple links to peer-reviewed academic articles on bicycle visibility for those who like to get into the weeds (so to speak). I found 3 take-home messages in these articles: 1. Fluorescent clothing and bicycle lights increase visibility and reduce car vs. cyclist accidents; 2. Fluorescent leg or ankle coverings are more much more visible than bright or fluorescent jerseys; 3. Flashing tail lights are more visible to drivers than always-on taillights. These are actionable findings that reduce risk on the road. Please consider incorporating some or all of these findings into your safety regimen.
