A video on what car drivers should do to respect cyclist is of more value in my opinion. Cyclists are more willing to share the road than motorists.

Yeah, its a psychological thing. To some people out there, the fact that you're on a bicycle gives them the right to try to kill you. I'm a road biker and I've got some stories that would blow your mind. I'm absolutely convinced that there are some outright stone cold killers out there just waiting for a murder they can get a away with.

i know what you mean,
and of course if the driver of a car makes a mistake its instantly your fault.

and most of the car drivers yell at me and say its illegal to ride on the road.

Its so true i got ran off the road by a motorist for no apparant reason, i was hard to the side of the road that there was no space and they kept moving.
But i agree i share the road i dont own it.

Fuck all this. Rule #1: Balls too the walls all the time, and if you crash you don't REALLY need a helmet, unless you have NO ARMS.

hey allot of the footage was taken at hains point in DC. If you saw how everyone rides there you wouldn't think it was such a good place to shoot a safety video. Stop sign there means look but keep going.

Heres a tip, Don't ride your bike without a seat, or while your drinking gin.or eating steak.
