“LEAVE YOUR BIKE IN GEAR AT INTERSECTIONS!
I have preached that often to people I see pop their bikes into neutral when stopped. Today was a perfect example of why. I was the first vehicle at the intersection on a 4-lane state highway. I heard the unmistakable bang from a vehicle crash behind me. I immediately let out the clutch and moved a bike length forward (all I could do because of cross traffic) and then looked in my mirror to see the vehicle directly behind me rolling forward after being struck from behind. If I had been in neutral, it would have been a 3-vehicle collision instead of 2. So keep your bike in gear and have an escape route in mind.”
Thanks Doug for sharing, and for all of us - Ride With Pride.
