• 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)
