Pragmatic vs. Dogmatic Bike Lane Use
It’s easy to get into a bike lane once you decide it’s OK to use. It’s much harder to get out of a bike lane when you suddenly find yourself in danger.

I’m not a fan of riding on sidewalks, but sometimes sidewalk riding is exactly the right thing to do.
Use Horse Sense To Avoid A Horse Wreck
Communication is central to success as a bicyclist. With other road users, it is mostly through lane positioning, hand signals and head turns. Horses, though, respond to different signals.
