If you want to keep the gnats out of your face when stopped use a drop of vanilla extract between the eye & ear.  Old mountain man trick, and it works.  Just not for mosquitoes. 

You mean where the old mountain men put their blush on?

What I believe they are attempting to differentiate between are looking as a sensory activity that initiates the motor response creating a cause and effect relationship, from a far more complex activity. Looking (or seeing) represents one of seventeen different visual skills involved in visual information processing.

The previous description doesn't represent a much more integrative and simultaneous activity. Often, some who possess inefficiencies in certain visual skills can have difficulty utilizing more complex visual skills.

Safety and Riding Tips / Rider Signals when Group Riding
« on: April 03, 2012, 04:56:34 PM »
My thoughts are to compile suggestions for signals we might use to communicate while riding in groups.

One instance several years ago, the lead rider I was behind was positioned to pass a car on a set of mild rollers. I could see where he couldn't (but I didn't know he didn't see), an oncoming car as it dipped into a roller. Before I acted, he passed the car, but just barely. In retrospect, I think he could have checked his mirrors and I could have flashed him or honked to stop the pass.

I know there are signals used for group riding, http://www.msf-usa.org/downloads/group_ride.pdf and these are often used but may not be universally known and utilized plus would not be effective for signalling the lead rider.

My question is... When appropriate, is it viable to reiterate the above signals or to add signals for communicating basic commands to facilitate safer riding in a group or would this impose too much structure and detract from concentrating on the ride?

Even though my gloves have "full" protection, I have to admit I don't always tighten the wrist straps. This post reminded me to not just wear the gear but wear it properly.
