Razors Edge ★ Posted May 10, 2018 Share #1 Posted May 10, 2018 Pertaining to actually riding, not maintenance, what to wear, what to carry, etc., the Numero Uno Golden Rule for cycling is: YOU are responsible for your front wheel. Period. A nice corollary to the Golden Rule is maintain situational awareness. Start with "owning" your front wheel, and then expand your awareness to the whole area around you.

donkpow Posted May 10, 2018 Share #2 Posted May 10, 2018 I'll worry about what is in front of me, just don't run into me from behind. That's what I always say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddmaxx ★ Posted May 23, 2018 Share #4 Posted May 23, 2018 Don't ride with others. Another golden rule. Sorry, this just reflects my attitude toward riding which I use to get away from the rest of the world for a while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Russians are giving you money???? What is RT? And did they reimburse you for that damage to your bike? Pretty neat, if so. But it makes me wonder WTF you weren't following the Golden Rule. You are an experienced cyclist, and I am worried I will have to classify you as a self-absorbed noob instead Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Page Turner Posted May 24, 2018 Share #9 Posted May 24, 2018 ...a train was going past when I got there, so I was stopped along with traffic. When we started up, between trying to avoid the pothole in my line, clipping in, and not getting hit by the anxious drivers who were all now in a hurry because they had to wait for the train, by the time i saw that it was a gap instead of the asphalt grouting that used to be in the gap, it was already too late to do much except concentrate on a nice rollout. As it sits, crashing in that gap was still less damaging than getting hit by the car that was squeezing me over. These are the regional transit people, but like Trump, I would take money from the Russians if they offered it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
