Episode 16: 10 Skills Series #6: Communication




Survival Cycling » Podcasts show

Summary: Listen today as we explore Communication as an essential skill for survival cyclists. Communication means the imparting or exchanging of information or news. As cyclists, often our first form of communication with those around us is passive. It is how we first appear to those around us. Things like how we dress and our on-the-road stability have the ability to either communicate risk or normalcy to those who observe us. Secondly, we use things like hand signals, body language, and voice to communicate our intentions and information directly. Sometimes we have to use specialized tools to communicate with others who are not with us. Tools include cell phones, radios and signals. There are occasions when cyclists need to communicate with emergency personnel but are unable to do so because of injuries. That is when special identification pieces like Roadid can be a true lifesaver.
