Hearing of a near accident yesterday, where a cyclist was nearly hit by a car door being flung open having failed to check that it was safe to do so, I thought I’d reshare a post I initially shared a couple of years ago.
Cyclists and cars as we know can be a dangerous mix. The city does much to increase the cyclists’ security but there is something drivers can do to improve the cyclists’ security. The Dutch Reach. The dutch reach consists of opening your door with your right hand. It forces you to turn your body and better see if there are any cyclists coming by.
