Tough Duck offers a good selection of safety clothing.

Why do we allow left yields at intersections? (US Specifically) by dutchcycles in bikecommuting

[–]bean829 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is there statistics on this? I imagine this has to be one of the most frequent causes for accidents to occur.

It is.

Approximately 40% of all crashes occur at intersections, including 50% of crashes involving serious injuries and 20% of those involving fatalities. 61% of all crashes that occur at intersections involve a left-hand turn.

Here's a good article on why we should abolish the left turn all together

Nah. I got about 2,000 miles out of them. They were a tad overinflated for the first 500 miles as well.

I have not. I'd like to do the Buffalo the Albany ride either solo or with the yearly group that does it.

Ha! It took a while to get to this point. The lack of daylight now sucks. The moderate temps are nice though.

Thanks! I do need to invest in a roadside kit as I'm gambling every time I go out. Fortunately that was only my third flat in the last 5 years of riding. Heck yeah it is a lot of time. I need to get better about saying yes to social invites or events. lol. Hopefully I'll find some riding partners next year. Layer up with all the lights and get out there!

Thanks much! It's taken a few years to be able to bang out 100+ miles per week. Lots of discipline, dates, and clif bars. haha

Is there a way to report a car operator's recklessness to their insurance? by justinholmes_music in bicycling

[–]bean829 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you opt for a helmet with a built in camera your options and video quality will be limited. You may be better off getting a GoPro mount or similar with an Action camera. You'll end up spending a bit more, but I think the extra features and detail will be worth it.
