[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-safety...
