Respect the rules of the road.</span> <span>4.  You&#8217;re a good rider.  You can spot potential dangers at an intersection without stopping, so you glance around and roll through.  This approach works every time until the time that it doesn&#8217;t.  Then, what is the cost?  A broken arm?  A broken neck?  Worse?  A quick stop for time to double-check is worth it.</span> <span>5.  Future generations of cyclists are watching you.  Help parents who are teaching their child to ride safely around the block by setting a good example. </span> <span>6.  Every time you maneuver your bike at slow speeds and every time you stop and start your bicycle, you deepen your relationship with your bike.  You know how the bike feels the moment before you need to put your foot down.  You know where to put your pedal for a smooth transition from stopped to moving.  Eventually, your body does all of these things so naturally that you can focus your attention on the conditions of the intersection.  That is safer for you and for everyone else on the road.</span><br/><p><br/><span>7.  Fitness. Once you&#8217;re safely rolling, take a few hard pedal strokes.  You&#8217;ll be surprised at how quickly you are back up to cruising speed.  That little burn in your legs is what getting stronger rider feels like.</span><br/><br/><span>8.  Clipping back in sounds cool, especially in a group.</span><br/><br/><span>9.  Get flipped off less.</span><br/><br/><span>10.  When not racing Mark Cavendish stops at stops signs.  It&#8217;s true.  I read that somewhere. </span><br/><br/><span>The bottom line is that your safety is your responsibility.  By being good road users, Austin cyclists can be part of establishing an ethos of safety.  Ultimately, isn&#8217;t that more fun for all of us?</span><br/><br/><span>&#8212;David Tietz, ACA </span><span>Ride Director</span></p>http://hotdoghighway.com/post/5948267259http://hotdoghighway.com/post/5948267259Sat, 28 May 2011 20:00:13 -0500chrisattack<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_llnvnjAYQc1qzd618o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><blockquote> <p><strong>Watch for Cyclists!</strong> </p> </blockquote>http://hotdoghighway.com/post/5937600747http://hotdoghighway.com/post/5937600747Sat, 28 May 2011 13:45:34 -0500chrisattack<iframe width="400" height="300" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/up9r9kU7MUY?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p><span> <h1 id="watch-headline-title"><span title='KNOG "Kabana" Bike Lock Review' dir="ltr" id="eow-title">KNOG “Kabana” Bike Lock Review</span></h1> </span></p>http://hotdoghighway.com/post/5602436367http://hotdoghighway.com/post/5602436367Wed, 18 May 2011 03:47:50 -0500knogkabanabikecablelockreviewchrisattack<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l9vgs8Q9E21qad82lo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://hotdoghighway.com/post/1255774386http://hotdoghighway.com/post/1255774386Wed, 06 Oct 2010 09:12:08 -0500chrisattack<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l9vglnzaWv1qad82lo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://hotdoghighway.com/post/1255762501http://hotdoghighway.com/post/1255762501Wed, 06 Oct 2010 09:08:11 -0500chrisattack<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l9qxmyu8Co1qad82lo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://hotdoghighway.com/post/1240260508http://hotdoghighway.com/post/1240260508Sun, 03 Oct 2010 22:28:10 -0500chrisattack<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l7lb3o2hzG1qad82lo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>torque everything to spec</p>http://hotdoghighway.com/post/1035547026http://hotdoghighway.com/post/1035547026Mon, 30 Aug 2010 01:51:45 -0500park toolparktooltorquewrenchspecsafetychrisattack<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l7lax2AL6S1qad82lo1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>better tire levers</p>http://hotdoghighway.com/post/996664619http://hotdoghighway.com/post/996664619Mon, 23 Aug 2010 00:22:14 -0500tireleversbicyclepedroschrisattack<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l5zq3ja2eW1qa3krjo1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://iaminlikewithmybike.tumblr.com/post/849098527/idrinkpee-biostar-via-layylayy-there" target="_blank">iaminlikewithmybike</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="http://idrinkpee.tumblr.com/post/848027786/biostar-via-layylayy-there-would-be-a-lot" target="_blank">idrinkpee</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="http://biostar.tumblr.com/post/848016556" target="_blank">biostar</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>(via <a href="http://layylayy.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">layylayy</a>)</p> <p>There would be a lot more done than pitying the theif!
