public service announcement #2

Things cyclists shouldn't do when riding in downtown traffic:

A cyclist is taking what appears to be a leisurely ride through downtown traffic during the morning rush hour.

He should not filter through traffic and then make a straight from a right turn lane, especially when the lane to his left is also a right turn lane (that's a good way to get run over). He should be wearing a helmet. He should also at least attempt to ride with a little pace, especially after passing cars on the right and then cutting them off.

This is a message for you, Mr. Giant Hybrid Commuter, who I passed in my truck this morning.

Accidents happen, but so does stupid.
