Road safety
A fatal bicycle accident recently caught my attention. I truly don’t know what happened, so please don't take my advice as evidence that one thing or another happened. Nevertheless, some basic advice may be worth repeating. As usual, I’m writing this partly to remind myself.
Please don’t text and drive. Please don’t drive recklessly in public; your fun is not worth another person’s life. When bicycling, please wear a helmet and reflective gear. For sufficient protection, be sure to replace your helmet from time to time or immediately following an accident, as recommended by Consumer Reports.
