Just discovered over at Epicurean Cyclist this great video about how to ride safely in traffic produced by the Los Angeles Bicycle Coalition.
Despite reports recently made that contradict the some of the tactics used here, the video is very common sense without being preachy. They use actual footage from the road and to roll play common occurrences including crossing freeway ramps.

Turns out I already do a lot of this stuff, though I don’t think I can pull myself into wearing a mirror. That makes me feel better, but we all should think about this stuff from time to time.
Be safe out there, people.
