A local High School teacher was killed this past weekend on his bike. A SUV did not see him and plowed into the back of his bike, causing him to run into the car in front of him. Beside someone turning left in front of me, this is my biggest worry.
This what I try to do at a stop;
Stop with bike in gear, foot on the rear brake. (Ready to go and more rear lights)
Set myself up with a path to escape(do not pull right up to the car infront of you, angle bike to one side or the other)
Watch rear view mirror until I know it is safe.
Lightup the back of my bike, Converted turning signal to red lens running lamps.
Here is the local story, prayers to his family and friends.
