"Ride like everyone is out to kill you, because they are"
Other biggest lesson? Just because someone in a car is looking at you? Doesn't mean they actually SEE you.

MSF: SLPR, Slow, Look, Press, Roll.
Riding: Center of the lane is more slippery in rain, in poor, urban areas, than rural. The cars are leaking fluids more, and you should proceed cautiously, or bring extra underwear.

- Slow speed control, using friction zone and rear brake to stabilize the bike. Head and eyes pointed to where you want to go.
- They're all out to kill us so ride accordingly. Sometimes that means riding aggressively rather than passively.

I'll add, watch those painted cross walks and man hole covers.. slippery from the morning dew even if it doesn't rain.
