Biking and driving tips to stay safe this spring
Crazy spring weather, huh? It doesn’t just bring up the daffodils; it also brings out the bikes. All over town, bicyclists* are dusting off helmets and greasing chains for what’s shaping up to be a beautiful and extended season of biking.
But when there are more bicyclists out and about, it also means there’s an uptick in crazy, stupid biking and driving behavior on the roads. We’ve all seen it, and most of us have probably been in a situation where we thought afterwards, “what if?”
So, bicyclists and drivers, do this: take 56 seconds to view this really smart safety video out of Baltimore and freshen up on the simple things you can do as a driver or biker to share the road in the nation’s number one biking city. And happy trails!
*That is, the ones who don’t brave the elements and bike all winter long, because we have a lot of those too.
