In light of the news of a cyclist being killed by a driver in #Toronto yesterday and another cyclist sustaining life threatening injuries from a driver, here's an article on that discusses how drivers can take a pro-active role in keeping everyone on the road safe.

It doesn't have to be an us-vs-them dynamic. All it takes is #empathy, #awareness of ourselves and our surroundings, #communication and #kindness.

@DrTCombs Camera on the top of my helmet, thus very visible.

Years ago I mounted a head lamp in that same location, that looks a lot like a camera to the casual viewer. I swore at the time that the change in driver behavior was instantaneous.

Finally we are entering infamous . Railroad or white water raft are the only possible ways to access this rugged canyon, lined with sheer, 3000 foot granite cliffs. The river drops 300 feet in the space of just 3 miles, creating a series of Class IV and V rapids.

You can see why the railroad had a hell of a time building this section. You'd better read about it:

@Gazza_d And I thought *these* were the worst - not only do they require a swerve dangerous for all bikes, and actually too severe for some longer bikes to even fit through - but there are literally DOZENS of them positioned every half mile or so along the entire rail trail... :blobcatnotlike: :blobcatnotlikethis: :blobcatonfire:

@savourtardis We're finding out about the quirks of the @Tusky app - if the media doesn't upload properly it just posts away without it. Not the best way to handle it maybe....

On the flip side, this is the very first quirk I've managed to find in Tusky - so far so good.
