I practiced riding in my neighborhood for several months before I got out in traffic. Tell me about your experiences while riding in traffic and share any suggestions not covered in this video.

I'm glad the videos help, but nothing beats a test ride. Thank you for watching.

I ride as if I'm in my car. I always slow down when I'm approaching an intersection.

We are responsible for our own safety. Drive as slow or as fast as you can handle. Thanks for watching.

Great video and tips. Here is a question about rolling clothes. I’m a big guy 3XL to 4XL any tips on how to make the clothing rolls smaller? Thanks keep the great videos coming.

Most things will roll smaller, but jackets and pants are challenging for some reason. The jacket sleeves and butt and waist of pants tend to bunch as you roll them. Check out this video for some ideas. Hope this helps. th-cam.com/video/rGEk_C69CBo/w-d-xo.html
