🚴 GLASSNER CYCLING SAFETY SERIES — RIDE PREDICTABLY

Predictability is one of the keys to riding safely in traffic and in a group. Make your intentions clear so drivers and other cyclists have time to anticipate what you're going to do.

✅ Hold a straight, consistent line.
✋ Signal before turning, changing lanes or stopping.
👀 Scan behind you before changing position.
⚠️ Avoid sudden swerving or braking.

Remember: Scan. Signal. Move when it's safe.

Ride smart. Ride together.
