Three Rule of Bikes
1) Never get on a bike without first putting on your brain
- You are going to need it
2) You are Invisible, Trust No One
- No One sees you, No One knows you are there
- If You are going to find a path,
- you are going to have to do it yourself
3) Always Drive within the limits of the bike, road, and your capabilities
- The edge of the envelope has razor blades
If you cannot suppress your obsessions, stay off the bike
Oh Yes, I'm a biker
>>- The edge of the envelope has razor blades<<
My favorite line. :)
Yeah, I’m a biker too. The best advice I ever got before I bought my bike was to assume you are invisible. It literally saved my life at least three times.
Speak it brother!

Forty years this year. I don't ride as much as back in the 1970s, but still ride...
The FIRST thing I tell new riders is your number 2 - you are ALWAYS invisible; forget that and it WILL cause you to be a victim.
Just because you have a green light doesn't mean you have the right of way -- LOOK BOTH WAYS.
ALWAYS be looking for a way out -- assume something bad is going to happen and you will need somewhere to go. Every moment be thinking ''OK that car is gonna cut me off, where do I bail out?''
Learn how to "steer" a bike -- it is counterintuitive that cranking the handlebars LEFT will (at speed) make the bike go RIGHT (and vice versa). Lots of inexperienced riders steer right into trouble when they're under pressure because of that oddity...
