until i moved to California, i was hit three times by cars in NJ while biking... once requiring 40 stitches. when i moved here and saw bike lanes for the first time in my life, my initial thought was that biking might be a bit safer out here, but in truth it is only a bit safer. still have to pay 100% attention to wacky drivers when riding.Just got back from another ride. Had another close call with a car and a motorbike both pulling out in front of me. ...
Goes both ways around here. There are crazy drivers and crazy cyclists. I just wish people would pay attention when in public.until i moved to California, i was hit three times by cars in NJ while biking... once requiring 40 stitches. when i moved here and saw bike lanes for the first time in my life, my initial thought was that biking might be a bit safer out here, but in truth it is only a bit safer. still have to pay 100% attention to wacky drivers when riding.
