Why America can have better bicycling than Europe
On Aug 3, 10:23 pm, Serge Issakov wrote: I too must agree with Ken and Bob. The only time I ever came close to a collision with a car in over 40 years of bicycling, was when I was in a bike lane passing congested motor traffic that was on my left. But that's before I learned the techniques and practices espoused on this list, including never passing on the right someone who can and might turn right. In my case that someone was a woman in a mini van who suddenly decided to pull out of the jam and turn right across the bike lane into a side street, right in front of 20 mph (downhill) me. Miraculously, somehow my instincts caused me to "instant turn" into the side street, before I ever heard of the term. Serge When an SUV roars past you... you wonder what the hell you are doing on that road with such beasts. They look intimidating, they sound intimidating, and are often driven by alpha male/female drivers. Then the sales pitch of the stationary recumbent sounds appealing: 'Despite the competition from trendy new fitness inventions, exercise bikes continue to be popular options for home exercise. They offer the same aerobic benefits of riding a bicycle at any time, in any weather, without leaving the comfort and safety of home. Exercise bikes don't take up much space, require little or no balance or coordination, and can provide an effective workout for all levels of users, from beginners to serious competitors. While the same could be said for a number of other types of home fitness equipment, the exercise bike is one of the few that allows you to watch television or read a magazine while you work out.' |
