“I’m doing my first team bike ride Saturday in preparation for ADA Tour de Cure ride in June. I’ll probably ride 24 miles depending upon how I feel after the first 12 miles and the pace of the group. I was doing some research because I’m looking into getting a pair of clipless pedals to use for the Tour de Cure ride when I came across the article below about vehicular and bicycle accidents. Exactly what I needed to read as I prepare for my first ride, right? Geez! The devil is a liar! Prayerfully, I hope I never have to use the advice in this article, but it’s good information.
