Please beware of cyclists!

Came upon a car vs motor cycle wreck today. I don't know yet what bikers condition is, but he was unresponsive, & there was a lot of blood.
Do NOT blow a stop sign! It's to easy to miss seeing a bike or even small car.
WEAR a helmet!!
Use blinkers! & most of all, just be aware!! That goes for both motorcycle & auto driver.
I hope he makes it through, but I'd be surprised if he does.
Share the road!!!

I hope he's okay. It's sad. People just don't think about motorcycles, bicycles, or pedestrians when they ignore stop signs. I live in a residential neighborhood with a lot of trees, and when I'm walking I've learned to be very, very careful crossing side streets, I don't know how many times I've almost been hit. Sorry, it can't have made a nice day for you.

And bicycles and motorcycles frequently disobey traffic signals and are hard to see. They share the road AND the responsibility. Bad motorcyclists are statistically as common as bad car drivers.

I sold my motorcycle (a Suzuki GS650EX) after my second, second chance. Too dangerous in my hands.

Still bicycle a lot but am very cautious of oblivious drivers so I am twice as cautious.

Yep!
I was cut off today by a guy on a mini bike with no plate...I'm driving a F150 4X4, just how fast does he think I can stop! Missed him! Thank God!

I try to drive defensively in this state, it's the only way to stay alive!


All you can do mamabear is pray for the guy, he may make it ok. I have seen a guy on a bike rear end a car and fly over it, then get up and be ok.

Most motorcycle accidents are the fault of the vehicle driver.

I'm a long time motorcyclist. Was chapter director for my local chapter of GWRRA for a time. (for those that don't know, it stands for Goldwing Road Riders Association) Suffice it to say there is plenty of blame to go around, we all need to be defensive drivers and watch out for the other guy.
