  1. my safe riding tip, for the readers benefit (from my experience)

    no#1 if you face a BIG intersection eg a highway , or one of those

    stupid intersections

    where the light is at the (*) and you ride (eg. uphill, and against a
    headwind)

    the light(*) can go orange as you pass, and you can get HIT BY A CAR at T

    my advice - at these long intersections, just slow down as you aproach,
    if it has been green for a while just stop! and wait.

    sometimes it may be necessary to stop at a traffic island, and wait.

    be safe!

    ps i nearly got run over once.
