Re: railway tracks, crossing of
When you see a cyclist approaching a level railway crossing, please be prepared to slow down a little to allow the rider to cross safely. The cyclist really isn’t trying to hold you up, but the safest way to cross is to make sure the bicycle is perpendicular to the rails. Sometimes this means the cyclist needs to take the centre of the lane if the tracks don’t meet the road at 90 degrees. Honking your horn, revving your motor or yelling something unintelligible to the rider as they attempt to cross is counterproductive and just plain bad manners. We’re all just trying to get where we are going safely. Thank you.
Hey Andrew, How has the bike ride been going? I went downtown to CM last week and had a good time. Another cyclist, one of your readers, asked me if I had seen you around. It reminded me that a month had passed since I last spoke with you. Hope you’re enjoying this fine weather.
