Bicycle Safety

I know many of you likely have seen this site before -- Michael Bluejay's BicycleSafe.com -- but I visited this site for the first time today. It has some interesting advice about how cyclists can avoid getting hit by automobiles.

I agree with much of the advice here, but there are conflicting points of view particularly from the people who support John Forester's Effective Cycling.

I think the keys here are to use some good old-fashioned common sense, to apply defensive driving techniques to cycling and to assume that the motorist has no clue you're out there or no clue about cyclists' rights to use the road.
