Just Pass Me By

I leave in the morning at about 645, it doesn’t take me long to get to work and normally I am there a little before 7am. The weather is nice lately, so many people are biking to work or where ever. I was on the final turn on the road. It’s a good thing I pay attention better then most. There was this biker and large truck talking and biker was crouching down on the left side of his bike on the left side of the truck, so he was very much in the middle of the road. I had to use the other side of the road to get by him.
So it seems like bicyclist need a reminder of where to fix their chain, tires or hold a conversation with someone. First the middle of the Road is not a good place for this. If your chain falls of get onto the sidewalk, and fix it there, this way no one could miss ya and run you over. So you want to talk to someone else in a vehicle gets out of the road on the other side of the truck or car between the road and curb not between the truck and center line.
There are many careless drivers out there, it’s me, me, me, when it comes to them. The last thing I want to do is drive up to a accident because someone didn’t see a bicyclist in the middle of the road at a complete stand still.
I am not sure why, I see so many with out Helmets. They are important heaven forbid but if you where to fall and hit your head, your better off with a Helmet on then with your skull which can be smashed in. Sorry, but I have seen one to many accident which involved bikes. If your riding in traffic don’t expect other to watch out for you because they probably won’t watch out for them and your self.
If your riding on the Road the same laws apply to you as to us in cars. Signal your turns and what your planning because people can not read minds, so don’t just dart in front of a car to make a left or right turn.
You know what I think would be great on Bikes GPS this way you can always find where your going.
