This week’s safety message:
Stay In Sight: Smarter Road Position for Cyclists

Most bike–car crashes come from in front of the cyclist—at intersections and driveways, not from behind.
Right Hook
A driver passes and turns right in front of you—often underestimating your speed.
Prevent it: Ride far enough into the lane that cars must change lanes to pass. This makes drivers pause and usually wait until you clear the turn.
Left Cross
A driver turns left into your path because you’re hidden by traffic, or they misjudge your speed.
Prevent it: Ride farther left. It signals higher speed and improves your view of oncoming cars.
Don’t enter intersections until you can clearly see approaching traffic.
Drive Out
A driver pulls out from a side street or driveway. Sight obstructions make it worse.
Prevent it: Stay visible in the traffic lane. Scan ahead and move left for a clear line of sight.
The Common Thread:
Crashes happen when cyclists hug the edge. You don’t need to! The law doesn’t require it. Most drivers respect a visible, confident,
and predictable cyclist.
Ride where you can be seen.
