Biking is a great workout that you also can use in order to save gas and lower emissions. If you only live a short distance from your work, biking there and back each day is an easy way to burn calories and save money. If your work is farther away and you still want to lower your gas bill, your local Monterey auto dealer, Cardinale Nissan, has a diverse lineup of hybrid and electric cars. We also have some great tips on how to share the road better with cyclists.

Driver Tips

Sharing the road with #cyclists is easier than you might think, and only takes a few adjustments to your normal routine. As you drive along, scan the right side of the road or the dedicated bike lane for any cyclists who may be up ahead. For areas without these specialized lanes, be extremely cautious when going around a cyclist. Remain a safe distance away, don’t honk and patiently wait for the ideal moment to pass. If there are complicating conditions like low visibility or a blind spot up ahead, consider holding off until a better opportunity arises.

Cyclist Tips

Both drivers and cyclists can contribute to making encounters safer for both parties. Anytime that you cycle in traffic, make your movements predictable by moving straight ahead on the right side of the road. This allows the drivers behind you to better judge your movements and determine when they will be able to safely pass. Any reflective clothing and other accessories that you wear also help drivers to recognize you at night time when visibility is low.

To keep your car from making any unexpected moves while out on the open road, begin a regular Nissan car service schedule with our experts at Cardinale Nissan. We will keep your car operating at peak performance levels, and you can even schedule service online at www.cardinalenissan.com.
