1. relax
2. stay aware
3. be 'big'-- those of you who do not understand this one, probably never will
4. don't hide at the edge of the road, cars don't see things over there
5. be visible, i.e. no black at dawn dusk or night
6. practice braking--get out into an open parking area and practice braking fast and hard, this is a seriously under stressed safety issue among bikers, very few of you can stop fast
7. practice quick avoidance type steering moves-again in an open parking area----question how many of you can swerve hard and brake hard at the same time?
8. really, really keep your eyes open at intersections
9. if possible dont let anything pass you in an intersection
10. keep an eye on what is behind you, if you are young and flexible you may be able to do this without a mirror, I am not, so I use a mirror
