One tip that we learned on the Cindy Training rides might help you: wave at cars that could potentially cross your path. If they wave back, you know that they see you (and think you're one of the most friendly cyclists around!) If not, watch out! Be ready to stop -- keep your weight back and hands by the brakes.
There's something else we missed in the Cindy rides, thanks to our "leader"

Good idea melissam!
