Ok, I just got myself a hybrid bike, a Trek 7300. So far so good, but I definitely have to get the little cages for the pedals (recommendations, anyone? I'm not up to clipless by any means) - now that I've figured out the gears my feet are flying off the pedals sometimes!

A request for info: right now I live in a major metropolitan area and will be here for almost two more months. What's the best way to find out about road riding "etiquette" so to speak? How/where to be in the road so I'm safest? I don't want to learn this the hard way. Also, my twin sister is into biking, just a few months longer than I - how does she deal with rushhour traffic (different city, same problem!) if she wants to commute? Any tips for us would be greatly appreciated!!
