Little things people have told me/common sense
-leave extra room between you and cars and scan far, far ahead
-avoid riding on painted markings
-avoid riding in the center of the lanes (oil gathers there)
-cautious when riding when rain first starts to fall (mix of oil/rain that hasn't been washed down yet
-ride as smooth as possible and minimize jerking during turning/gearing
