from a thread just this week....

www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=274090


1) don't allow a bike lane to make you complacent about safety.
2) be wary of decelerating cars coming up from behind.
3) stay out of the car's blind spot.
4) never pass on the right unless sure the car has no intention of turning.
5) listen and watch cars and their drivers for telltale clues a right turn is upcoming.
6) run high vis equipment day or night to enhance your visibility to drivers.
7) Learn the "brake and swoop".
