What to look out for
Most potential dangers don't exist if you ride slowly. You just need to learn to recognise risky situations before you get too fast. Here's a few that I've become aware of:
Riders with iPods – they can’t hear your bell and may pull out as you pass. It's pretty common. I've learnt to look out for the wires, as helmets hide the ear buds
Tram Tracks – if you have to ride across a tram track, try to ride across at a right angle. Never ride along them.
Riders without bells – you may find you're just about to pull out to pass someone (after ringing your bell, of course) and someone appears silently beside you, blocking the space. A mirror helps here.
Your cloak of invisibility – I didn't know I had one of these until I started riding a bike. It seems I must have one, and it works really well. Just remember you've got it on, and no one else can see you; even the driver seemingly staring into your eyes.
