Bicycle Safety Tips

Here's some great bicycle safety tips: https://www.theonion.com/articles/bic...ety-tips,8077/

Hard to argue with them.

Especially:
Insist on a bicycle made of solid matter. Liquid and vapor bikes are a passing fancy; argon frames are particularly shoddy.

Visibility is crucial when biking. Ride with a lit highway flare in each hand.
Yes! Great article.

What do you want, us to post "LOL"? I thought it was funny and appreciated the post, but I don't generally post just to say "that was funny" - or to say "First!" or that kind of stupid stuff.
