Today, I'm feeling a bit bad about myself. I'm new to cycling, and to be quite honest, I was going too recklessly and almost got myself hit by a car or two. I could absolutely learn how to check my turns better.

What are your favorite tips for learning how to cycle safely in the city?

Any time I'm going straight and I see a car trying to turn in a way that they might hit me, I raise one arm and wave frantically at them as I continue straight in my lane. It seems to get their attention so they don't hit me.
