Dear boyfriend-please take heed of my advice in traffic and don't be afraid to follow me when I jump in the flow of things. I wait safe distances, use signals and go with the right of way. We should be side by side at all intersections. Last weekend, when we rode (only the second time you went with me, so I'm trying to be patient) I was in the lane we were supposed to be in and you were in the far right two car widths and lanes away from me. You were in the right hand turn lane when we were going straight. After you went straight, you continued to stay in the far right shoulder even when we were making an immediate left turn so then I had to make the turn and wait several minutes for you to get across the traffic lanes when you could have been with me the whole time! Plus, I can't look out for you when you are two car widths away from me. Oh, and you don't use hand signals so everyone probably assumed you were going to turn right. We are lucky your still alive. I hope you heeded my advice that you could get killed riding your bike in traffic like that. I told you TWICE to not be afraid and explained what the rules were. I hope you use signals when your out riding alone. I realize your new at this but be smart. People get killed on bikes all the time in our community.![]()
