3 Rider Ed Issue 11 As I was visiting a chapter gathering recently I heard the former Chapter Educator, Jeff Duffey, speak about how slick and dangerous those white painted lines at corners, turn lanes, etc. can be. This brings up a very good point I think we all should be aware of. Often, during our early morning rides the dew just hasn t dried up quite yet. Keep in mind, then, when you pull up to that stop where that wide, thick, white painted line is going across the road, it may very well be slippery and you could lose your footing and take a spill. Keep in mind as well, those white arrows may also have oil drippings, etc on them that will cause them to be very slippery and while you are in a turn could cause you to slide and/or spill. Just food for thought. Another thing I personally have seen here in Florida has been, (and I think there should be a law against it, my opinion), are lawn care companies blowing their cuttings into the streets, especially on back country roads. The clippings will definitely come up into even a full face helmet on a trike. (Again, personal experience) Something to be careful of on a year round basis here in Florida. On these back roads that we all love to ride we may find this Florida dirt that is called SAND and it gets all over some of these back roads. Something to be careful of because in a curve and especially a corner or turn, it can be extremely slippery, regardless of 2, 3 or even 4 wheels. More food for thought and I hope you re hungry for safety! Ride Safe, Ride Aware, Rick & Pam Northrop Senior District Educators Page 3
