I do most all of my riding on city streets. My daily ride includes everything from the State Hwy to quiet residencial streets. My mirror is my best friend! I tend to stay just to the left of the line but always try, if possible, to move over when a car is coming from behind. I also choose my routes with care and avoid roads with little or no shoulder. I generally ride alone and prefer that to riding with another person. I recently attatched a flashing red light to the back of my bike rack and hope that helps with being more visible. bikerHen
