Bike Hub Mount Roskill Blind Zone Workshop with Share The Road

Get your hands behind a big rig to spot blindzones in this workshop to build rider confidence in sharing the road with trucks, buses and large vehicles.

Once you have done this workshop you will remember:
where to place yourself and your bike (or vehicle) so a truck driver can see you and that it is better to overtake a truck on the right

you will know:

• that trucks may move straight forward from a stop before turning, to clear a corner.
• that heavy vehicles’ bodies will swing wide of their wheel tracks
• that heavy vehicles’ rear axles may turn up to 2m ‘tighter’ than front axles

“It’s a total eye opener! Unless you have sat in the driver’s seat of a large truck you have no idea just how little you can see from up there. All people who ride on the road should do a Share the Road Blindzone Workshop.” — Andy McClune Takapuna Grammar School Cycling Club President
