Please
do NOT
write about any of
the following:
- Reprint Permission. I specifically list reprint
permission on this site so you do not have to ask me about
it.
- Traffic laws. I am not a lawyer. For Texas laws, see
BicycleAustin.
- Questions about bike safety. I
have over 5000 messages in my In Box, I just don't have the
time to be a helpdesk to the world. This website is my gift to
you; private consultation is not.
- Disagreements with my advice. I very much prefer not to
debate and argue with everyone on the Internet. If you don't like
what I have to say, create your own website to share your own
views. Don't expect me to change what I have to say in my own
space.
- A request to add your idea for collision #11 to the
article. This article is NOT intended to be a comprehensive
manual on bike safety; it's 10 ways to not get hit by cars. It's
popular and accessible precisely because it's a good size
to read -- long enough that people can see it has useful
information, but short enough that they'll actually do so.
If I added all the suggestions people have made over the years the
article would be five times as long and no one would read it.
- The text on the right side of the screen overlaps the
right-hand column. This is happening because of a combination
of two things: (1) You're using a ridiculously wide window size.
Make your window a more reasonable width. I have no idea why
you're trying to read web pages with such a gargantuan width
anyway, they're not intended to be displayed like that. (2) You're
using Internet Explorer. Use a less buggy browser, like FireFox.
- Requests for materials or speakers. I do not have
brochures or videos, and obviously if I did I would list them on
the site. Ditto for speakers to make presentations.
- Link exchange requests. These will be deleted on sight.
If your legitimate bike club, bike shop, school, or similar
organization believes my article is worth sharing and you've
linked to it, if you let me know I will generally list your site
among the others that link here. I will not link to unrelated
businesses for SEO purposes, nor will I play games like "If you
link to me then I'll link back." (see more
on why link exchange requests fail)
Please realize that any praise you send may be reprinted on m
Fan Mail page (without your email address,
of course).
Journalists can call me at
512-322-0638 for media inquiries
only.
(This does not include students writing papers for class.)
I will hang up on anyone who calls for any other reason.
