Bicycle Safety Tip of the Month

 

Red Light of Death

You stop to the right of a car that's already waiting at a red light or stop sign. They can't see you. When the light turns green, you move forward, and then they turn right, right into you. Even small cars can do you in this way, but this scenario is especially dangerous when it's a bus or a semi that you're stopping next to. An Austin cyclist was killed in 1994 when Safety tip 2he stopped to the right of a semi, and then it turned right. He was crushed under its wheels.
