That's a lot of reading a chock full o' good info. Here's my advice: relax your death grip on the controls, if you're hanging on for dear life you're not in control. Head up, look where you want to go, expect the worst from everyone else and stay out of the oil slick at intersections. Me, I watch everyone else's wheels at a stop, folks who creep will jump in front of you every time. Oh yeah, never hurts to offer a friendly wave to other riders


A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright (1876 - 1944)
