VISIBILITY, VISIBILITY, VISIBILITY To avoid getting hit, first you have to be SEEN!
One of the greatest threats to bicycle safety, especially the safety of bicycle commuters
and urban bicyclists, is cars passing too
closely and hitting them. To improve bicycle safety more than 25 states have passed
legislation (with more in the process), called the 3-Foot
Rule which requires
drivers to stay 3 feet from bicycles when passing. But more needs to be done to improve
safety. click for link

This action forces you to turn toward the side view mirror, out and then back
over your shoulder to be sure a bicyclist is not coming from behind. Only then do you slowly open the door.
