Bonneville America Forums Forums Rider Safety Forums Riding Technique Riding in traffic

When riding solo on a two lane road I will ride the left side of my lane. When riding solo on a four lane road I will ride the left side of the outside lane and the right side of the inside lane. This provides me with the best view forward and aft of me. Enables me to shift lanes if needed with the least amount of movement. It insures me the use of more road on both sides if I have to take evasive maneuvers. It helps cars in front and behind to see me on the road and it helps me maintain my location or space on the road (so they don't pull over into my lane). It helps cars turning left or right onto the road to see me and most of all helps me see then just in case they are not looking.
