10 useful tips for car drivers

Dave Moulton was a bike builder of great notoriety in the '80s and maintains a very outspoken Bike Blog today. Click through for the full post.

Just a sample:

9. If a cyclist is riding in the middle of the lane, it could be because he will not ride within five feet of a parked car. (The door zone.) If you expect cyclists to ride within inches of parked cars, set an example by driving within inches of parked cars.

If more cars did this and removed a few car doors, and grazed a few knuckles as a result, it would help by reminding people to look before opening a car door. At the present time cyclists hitting car doors does not have the same impact.
