Interesting fact about me: I used to detest cyclists!
(I probed Eric on how his view has changed now he’s a cyclist himself…)
“Cars drivers should understand the impact of dangerous driving towards cyclists, especially when not all cyclists are experienced or confident on the road. Also considering that many people use cycling as a form of transportation and have every right to be on the road just as they do in a car.”
We couldn’t agree more, and the more we can continue to educate the community, the safer all road users will be. Whether it be intentional, negligent or accidental, any accident on the road is one too many. So ride safe and drive safe when out on the road, take your time, look out for others and be aware of your surroundings always.
