Recently, I had the opportunity to check an item off my bucket list: a side-saddle riding lesson on a friend's horse. Venturing out of my comfort zone, I discovered that side-saddle riding is an entirely unique experience. From mounting to balancing, and from utilising riding aids to dismounting, it's a distinct departure from traditional riding. Having ridden for over three decades, I can confidently declare that side-saddle riding ranks as one of my most extraordinary adventures. #comfortzone #virtualassistant #horseriding #sidesaddle #bucketlist

Keep in mind that this is only talking about BICYCLIST fatalities, pedestrian deaths are up drastically, too. Cars & trucks keep getting bigger, drivers are more distracted and disconnected from their surroundings than ever, take the initiative to be the example of safe driving. At stop signs and lights: look left to the sidewalk, curb, each lane (bike and general traffic), continuing straight across, and to your right, then do it again to get back to the sidewalk to your left. It take less than 3 seconds and will give you a full picture of what traffic is around so you may proceed safely. Also remember not to block the crosswalk, stop for pedestrians, head right of way to the more vulnerable road users. Take the extra second to spare a life, your time is not more important.
