A slow ride across a high-speed interchange

September 9, 2018

0 Comments
A week after taking the November 12-13 CyclingSavvy Weekend course, John Alexander sent me an email asking what was the best way to ride over the Lake Mary Blvd/I-4 interchange. Most people (including experienced road cyclists) regard that interchange as impossible for a cyclist.

Don't get me wrong. I like these sharrows, I'm simply highlighting the fact that no matter what facilities are present, there are times when you have to alter your behavior to suit the conditions.

These days I'm a much more savvy cyclist. More and more, I've started taking Preston Road instead of using residential feeder streets. Despite all the rush hour traffic, Preston is actually much easier and more pleasant!

The sun position, street configuration, traffic levels, and traffic timing all came together in a way that could have resulted in a very bad day.  Luckily, my awareness of the situation made it really easy to avoid the left cross that was brewing.

Freeway interchanges may be the most intimidating road configurations you'll encounter as a cyclist. Safe and easy navigation is possible! You need an assertive lane position, awareness, and thinking ahead about where you need to be.

I’m always looking for the key that unlocks mindfulness for students. My end goal is not to deliver information, but to inspire transformation.

Freeway entrances create intimidating road configurations for cyclists. Safe and easy navigation requires assertive lane position, awareness, and thinking ahead about where you want to be on the other side.
