Today, I'm feeling a bit bad about myself. I'm new to cycling, and to be quite honest, I was going too recklessly and almost got myself hit by a car or two. I could absolutely learn how to check my turns better.

What are your favorite tips for learning how to cycle safely in the city?

This is all so important. I always tell my kids, even on foot, "don't watch the lights, watch the cars".

Number one way to die on a bike in Chicago is to be alongside a Mack truck while lane cutting. Just... don't put yourself there.
