Keep these rules in mind when riding with traffic

Town Crier columnist Chris Hoeber encourages cyclists to wear bright clothing so they stand out to motor vehicles.
I have been writing this column for three years, and my topics have moved from advice on how an expert cyclist can blend with traffic safely and without antagonizing drivers to discussions of state-of-the-art accommodation of riders of all skill levels and training for novice cyclists.
With the light visible at the end of the COVID tunnel, I am sure there will be more riders and drivers on the road this year, and I’d like to return to the topic of “serious cyclists” mixing it up with cars.

Mountain View High School sits largely empty as students take classes online.
After nearly a year of remote learning, the Mountain View Los Altos Union High School District approved a preliminary plan last week to bring students back to campus once the county is out of the state’s highest risk COVID-19 tier.
The plan would bring students physically back to campus part-time, but in-person instruction wouldn’t resume and classes would remain online. Students would remain with one “stable learning group” all day, working in a “study hall” environment and logging into their virtual classes, according to the plan.
