AG: Skills

You learn skills so that you can ride; you don't ride to show off your skills. Don't use a hard-won skill just because you spent a lot of time learning it. Negotiating your way into the left-turn lane and going with the flow of traffic is the quickest, easiest, and safest way to make a left turn most of the time, but in any vehicle there are times when it's better to make three right turns instead. On many occasions, I've turned right into a deserted side street, made a U turn, and crossed with the light. Or I'll turn into a not-so-deserted side street and turn around in a parking lot or driveway. And it isn't unknown to ride straight through, get off the bike, walk back to the intersection, and push the pedestrian-crossing button. Selecting the best technique for the situation at hand is, perhaps, the hardest-won skill of all. +1 |
