Would You Ride A Bicycle Through Here?
How would you ride a bicycle through the huge highway interchange that I plan to ride next week?

CyclingSavvy instructors don’t always do everything right. When I used the Spruce Street bike lane in Philadelphia, here’s what I did wrong (or at least could have done better).
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.
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.
