Good reading and viewing….
While
the City of Brentwood is engaged in a debate over the recent Mandeville Canyon
Road Rage incident, cycling educators Dan Gutierrez and Brian DeSousa rode the mountain road and prepared this video that
demonstrates good cycling behavior, its effect on motorists behavior and good
lane positioning – Check out the educational video: http://laist.com/2008/07/14/video_of_the_day_how_to_bicycle_rid.php
My only
criticism with this video, I would have liked to have seen the riders look back
more often before moving out into the lane…..otherwise they did a great job!!!
Thanks
