Imagine you are invisible and not a single person on the road can see you, because in this day and age, they probably can't because they are too busy texting, facebooking, tweeting, playing with their pud or something else they are doing other than concentrating on the road. If you ride with the attitude that they can't see you at all, you stand a better chance. Title: Re: Bike Noob from Newcastle Post by: schoona on January 26, 2013, 09:27:16 PM Thanks for that. Will keep that in mind when I eventually get out there :)
