Practice Precaution

Low light, rush hour, and a roadside workout can be a recipe for trouble. Case in point: Nearly two-thirds of pedestrian accidents happen at night, and nearly a third of fatal cycling accidents occur between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. "We all know that drivers are often distracted," says Knaack. "You have to act defensively, because you're not always on a driver's radar." When you can, stay on sidewalks and streets with bike lanes or wide shoulders. Be most careful at crosswalks and intersections, and pay extra attention to cars as they turn. Drivers tend to look toward oncoming traffic and can forget to check the other direction.
