Safety Tips for Noobs

I wasn't aware that we were meant to be banging the drum for bicycling. I'm not the Obama of fixed wheels you know.

Quite sad or healthily cynical. It's a judgment call.

[Edit]

Or just flippant and glib. Which is more my style. For which I apologise. Sort of.

As long as you are not choosing a career in cycling training ;)
I need confidence boost and inspiration from time to time so reading that other road users would happily run me over is the last thing I need to hear.
