Current Goal

This coin is being released to raise awareness of bicyclists on the road.

To protect yourself and your bicycle while cycling, follow some simple rules:

Always wear a helmet; the most serious bike injuries are to the head.

Wear reflective clothing so motorists can see you clearly.

Properly maintain your bicycle; repair tires, gears and brakes as they age.

Obey the rules of the road. Follow the same rules that apply to cars and other vehicles such as stopping at stop signs and yielding to pedestrians.

Ride in the same direction as cars, never against traffic.

Ride well to the left of parked cars. This will help you avoid being “doored” when a motorist unexpectedly opens the driver’s side door as you ride by.

To learn more about bicycle safety visit Advocates for Auto and Highway Safety.

Finally found an ammo can to drop this in. Wasn't in a location I would normally drop one in, but I told the owner I would drop it in the next cache big enough to do so. Been running into micros lately or smalls that wouldn't fit the card attached to the coin with everything else in it.
