The two cardinal rules for cyclists on the road

A good reminder from Velorution about the two cardinal rules for cyclists on the road:

  • Assume that you are invisible.
  • Assume that drivers are blind.

Unfortunately, it’s all too often you hear about cyclists being taken out by either criminally careless or simply unaware drivers. When you’re trying to survive on the increasingly crowded streets, you can’t trust anybody else to be watching out for your safety.

And wear a freakin’ helmet.
