This is terrifying

I just started bike commuting to work. It's my first time biking regularly since I was a kid, which I did haphazardly and without rules, so I wasn't sure how to navigate my bike in traffic as an adult. This is exactly what I needed! Thank you.

How’d your bike commute go? I’m considering doing the same soon.

@@RetroRoCkEt6 same here, havnt bought a bike in about 15 years and just picked up a Breezer Midtown 1.5 to commute to work/get around the city, im a little intimidated but ehh, good luck Doug and Autum

Great video. Now to apply this to the UK where I need to do the opposite xD

[@somerandombaconboy]

thanks, helped so much. i was driving on the right side on intersections till now and got cut off so many times

[@dougwedel9484]

Very nice presentation. It is very simple yet thorough. I hope it goes through periodic updating. The box turn is missing. Turning left, a cyclist will keep to the right lane and cross the intersection, then wait on that corner for the light to change, then turn left, using the right lane of the cross street. This method means a cyclist won't become a pinball in the middle of the intersection and get struck by more than one car.

[@dougwedel9484]

To continue a thorough discussion of intersections would mean including different kinds of intersections and discussing these designs without bike lanes and with them. There are at least 5 different kinds of protected intersection.
