With the Holiday weekend approaching and the summer vacation season upon us I'd like to take a break from the regular adventure posts to highlight ways NOT to be adventurous. In other words, walk, run and bike safely!
Really it's very simple.Walkers and runners:
1. Walk and run on the sidewalk where available
2. If there is no sidewalk, walk and run facing traffic, on the left side of the road
Bicyclists:
1. Ride in the road. Riding on the sidewalk is dangerous because sidewalk site lines were not set up with bicycle speeds in mind
2. Ride with traffic, on the right side of the road.
The consequences of doing it wrong are serious, and the danger so obvious, and the obliviousness to the danger so flagrant that I am tempted to post one or more of the following signs, or pass out flyers. Not sure which would be more effective/obnoxious.Votes, comments and suggestions are appreciated.
