Welcome back Absolutely!

Thanks for bringing this back here again. Let's hope we can do it justice this time

Actual comments look fine from an outsiders POV

A couple of minor grammar points that I'll write down tommorrow, unless someone gets there first

As mentioned in the earlier PR, would this benefit from being separated into categories? Even with just larger spaces if necessary

I agree nbb - it will *look far better when the sub-editor puts it into GuideML, if we all agree that this is a fit piece for publishing in the Guide.


Just to make it clear - we don't expect people to turn their writing into GuideML, unless they wish to learn it and do so themselves. We are far more interested in the content and the way the author writes in their own words. So leaving a good, interesting and unusual Entry as plain text is perfectly acceptable.

Indeed, sorry should have pointed that out myself

The points themselves look fine, so I agree myself quite happily

I have read this again, and it looks perfectly clear, useful advice. What I really like is that is so obviously speaks as from an expert biker.

I've requested that a researcher who is also a biker for many years has a read through. (Maximus)

Well, I would say all the points make good sense.

I woulds only add two points.

1/ That it is useful to use other vehicles to shield yourself from serious potential danager at side roads where possible and safe. A vehicle pulling out into your path is one of the biggest threats. Ride in the safer area away from the junction; placing the car travelling in the same direction between you and the greater danager of the potentially emerging danger.

2/
Always move out to near the centre of the road when approching a car at a junction as this position increases the ability(the angle at which they view you) of the driver to judge your speed and distance. Always look for signs that the driver has seen you. If there are no signs, take extra care.

Always remember a small percentage do want to see you get hurt. A sad fact, ride accordingly.

Thanks Maximus Your comments are appreciated.

Glad to see you back on site.
