Thoughts on biking to work
I’ve biked to work quite a bit. I have a great ride through Grant Park, Downtown Atlanta over to Georgia Tech. My experience has been that motorists are pretty respectful of bikers in Atlanta. Rare is the occasion that a car gets too close or is just rude. In fact, most cars go out of the way to avoid me.
Actually most of the violations I see are by other bikers. The most egregious is running red lights. In case you didn’t know, bikers are held to the same traffic laws as cars. It’s almost guaranteed I’ll see a biker run a red light when I’m out biking. Police do give tickets to bikers for this. I don’t understand it. Do you have a deathwish? Which leads me to my next point.
Always make eye contact with an approaching car whenever you are turning or approaching an intersection. Like with motorcycles, you have to assume you’re invisible and that cars do not you see you. I see runners do the same thing. They assume the car sees them and they almost end up getting hit. I will stop, wait and get an acknowledgement before I proceed. Bikers and runners, you should do the same.
Biking is dangerous and that’s a reason I like it. It’s great exercise. Biking lets me see the city from a completely different perspective. I challenge you to do it.
