I took a cycling class in the seventies at our local community college and have stuck with what was taught to me back then and it still seems to work. I stay out of crosswalks unless I am walking my bike and I use the same turn boxes that the cars use. I stay as close to the side of the road as possible and signal when turning(Lumos Helmet!) . In fifty years of road biking I had a first about a week ago when a motorist got VERY upset at me for using the turn box to make a left turn. I was all the way to the right of the turn box and he just went ballistic on me . I think he was having a bad day or something. I was glad there were others around so he didn't get out of his truck or try something any more stupid than he already had , annoying everyone with his very loud horn repeatedly. Joe
