DN Opinion. The locals need to learn a little cykelhyfs

Now, it seems that summer finally be on the road and many of the capital's inhabitants choose as well as I remove the car and public transport for the benefit of the bike.

It is good for both the environment and health and thus a particularly good idea if it had not been for the fact that the Residents as a group can't ride a bike. At all. Certainly can handle most of that passably to move forward without tipping to the side but about where to reach most of the top of their ability.

for the benefit of the collective mental health and the county's already hard-pressed emergency departments, help with some equally robust and simple tips designed to minimize the number of accidents and create harmony on the bike path. Cut out, laminate and tape on the frame!!!

you can ride a bike fast does not mean that you should do it all the time and everywhere. As inappropriate as it is to run 110 on a 30-way it is to pedal as if there was a tomorrow through the crowd at Götgatspuckeln.

Keep to the right and pass the other bikes to the left. When you run past, move you back out to the right. Even if cykelförsäljaren said that your new speed demon is a ”type one of those they drive on the credit transfer will be delegated stuck with the straight handlebar” and you have made your trivselkilon aerodynamic with the help of a neon yellow unitard, you can assume that it will someone from behind that is faster and better on the bike than you.

Because most people who are out and about in the stockholm traffic is not a mind reader, it is a good idea to with a simple hand signal, which signaled to show that you intend to turn. This performs the same function as the direction indicator in a car. (For the taxi drivers, artisans, and owners of German prestigevagnar now puzzled scratching his head, I can inform you that the equipment is now standard on most cars and is operated with a slick lever to the left of the steering wheel).

This is the only reason to ever drop the handlebars which is very timely for us on to the next paragraph.

as suddenly as the irresistible urge to statusuppdatera, send a text or take an inventory of cykelkorgen we can all hit, but a good idea is to perform these tasks in a standstill.

from time to time it pops up wide, white parallel lines on the road. Here, it is thought that pedestrians should be able to cross your path without the risk of being torpedoed by a 50-årskrisande middle manager with the associated disc brake-räcer-commuting-hybrid (17.995 crowns including rapid sports glasses). Slow down in good time and let the pedestrians cross.

If a motorist will do the same for you, show your appreciation through a small waving or a nick. All in all, a positive and respectful attitude the risk of bad mood the next time you tell someone you cycle to work.

As little as you hang on the horn every time you see another vehicle in front of you when you drive a car, you need to jingling, incessantly when you are out and bikes. It is your job to take you forward in a safe way and to use ringtones to say ”move on you! I have more in a hurry than you are!” is just as mirror as unnecessary.

Nowadays, several bicycles equipped with an electric motor. Many do not seem to understand that it only helps with the pedaling. Control and think you must still do yourself, and also you on the self-driven bike should have in mind that the 25 mile an hour you perceive as an almost dizzying speed representing the leisurely walking pace for an experienced rider without a motor. Keep to the right.

Roll safely so we are out on the bike path!
