Hey Ben, keep in mind all bicyclists are not professionals like you are, but you're right, she was being STUPID!

Fortunately, being a bicyclist, you were naturally more alert to other bicyclists.

It's my feeling that a person should basically ride a bike the same way one rides a motorcycle or drives a car:

Keep it off the sidewalk

Use lights at night

Use turn signals (hand signals are fine, but do them!)

Be alert to all other traffic, including pedestrians and animals!



It's not a bad idea to take a bicycle safety class either! I'm sure there must be some offered through local schools, libraries, and other public places.

Cars and bikes NEED to get along!!!!
