Very good road riding rules. I do basically the same thing, and have ridden over 250,000 miles without any major accident (PRAISE THE LORD). I have been using the bicycle for transportation since I was very young (yes, I do have a car, and it gets great gas mileage sitting in the driveway!!!). I do a lot of night riding to/from activities. I have 2 high intensity flashing tail lights (Planet Bike) on the top bar of the seat back on both of my recumbents, 2 headlights to see whats in front of me, and a third head light(wider angel) for the cars to see me!

Excellent safety points! In the sixties I rode a bike ( I lived in Japan from 1959-64 where bikes were common) and then came back to the States where the car was king. But I bucked the norms and kept riding my bike through high school & college. Hard to believe now but back in those days I never gave a thought to wearing a helmet! But I did follow most of safety tips you listed intuitivly. . . . & I’m here to tell about it.
In my thirtys I rode motorcycles for a time but followed some of the same rules. Thank you for laying them out so clearly.
