He’s in a bike-mounted carrier.

With other drivers... Ever been rear ended on a motorcycle while waiting on a light? I have, and can say there is very little you can do about it. Everybody has to determine the risks they are willing to take. I still ride but there's absolutely no way I would bring my cat (even tho he would love it), I kind of like him.

Yes, also hit by a truck that rolled back on an incline. Lesson: always filter to be next the cars at the red lights.

Then you realize how silly

He’s in a bike-mounted carrier. If its safe enough for people, its safe enough for an animal light enough to jump off buildings.

sounds?

I was hit because I was doing something unsafe, not filtering at a light. Since I stopped doing that, I can no longer be hit by cars failing to brake or trucks rolling back at red lights.

So what happens if you're the only person at that light? Pull up next to the pole?

I can no longer be hit by cars failing to brake

LOL

Sit on the left or rightmost line, watch your mirrors.
