The 3 most common errors I see are.:

1. Ear plugs are virtually never in right, diminishing their effectiveness .
2. Stopping too close to the cage in front of them not allowing the biker an "escape route".
3. General lack of control of the bike. Not looking at all comfortable on the bike or relaxed. This is a biggie. Be it making HUGE, HUGE wide U-turns, or coming to a choppy stop bouncing their feet (both of them simultaneously) on the ground in an attempt to stop, or incredibly poor parking lot speed maneuverability.

4: Parking forward into a decline space and now need a push to get out.
5: Riding or stopping next to someone you don't know.

 

Posting in forums asking what the definition of a 'biker' is.

 

Something I was guilty of, looking down and not keeping the head up!

 

Wearing black Ts in 90 degree weather- especially after Labor Day

 

Dragging a foot when going slow in a parking lot.

Looking AT the object in your path instead of AT the path around that object.

 

Following traffic too closely and centered behind the guy ahead of them. Scares me every time I see it.

 

Thinking that lowering a bike makes it better handling.

 

Taking off with feet hoovering 3 inches off the ground----same when slowing down. Drives me nuts. If you are that scared of falling over, take the car.
