Current Goal


This coin is being released as part of the Todie's Wild Ride Bike Awareness Project initiated by Rockin Roddy in response to the death of his good friend Tod Phillips. On August 12, 2008, Tod was riding a motorcycle when he was killed in an accident caused by a left turning vehicle. Tod was one third of Team Rod & Tod w/KAboom. This coin is released in his memory and in memory of all motorcyclists killed on the road. As part of this coins journey, I would like to collect different tips for drivers to be more aware of motorcycles, bicycles and pedestrians. Feel free to add any tips you wish to the logs to share with others.

About This Item

Pennstategirl + Todie

DO NOT KEEP THIS COIN!
This coin is part of a huge mission to raise awareness of bikes (both motorized and human powered) on the roadways. Specifically this coin is to get people to remember to check their blind spot for bicycles and motorcycles.
With bicycle riders and motorcycle riders not being as huge as someone driving a car or truck, it is imperative that we always check our blind spots while driving. Many bicycle and/or motorcycle vs. automobile accidents can be avoided if the drivers of the automobiles would just take that extra second to check and make sure that their blind spots are clear before turning or changing lanes.

I heard about these coins on a recent episode of Podcachers but I never thought I would see one. I am taking it to our xmas event next week. Should see a lot of action.

Picked it up this morning to take east. Perhaps we can even get it near Penn State.

Cycling tip: Don't ride in a vehicle's blind spot. Actually, that works for cars too.
