Today's Times-Union has a filler ad on page 7A that gives safety rules
for bike riding.
Under a logo of the yellow diamond-shaped "Share the Road" sign, there
is a list:
<bold>When Riding Always:</bold>
-Go With the Traffic Flow. Ride on the right in the same direction as
other vehicles
-Obey All Traffic Laws. A bicycle is a vehicle and you are a driver
-Yield to Traffic When Appropriate
-Be Predictable
-Stay Alert at All Times
-Look Before Turning
-Watch for Parked Cars

Note the total lack of FOB's essential and only possible safety rule:
"Wear a symbolic hat shaped somewhat like a helmet."
