"Dooring" y cómo evitarlo - Ir En Bici

 abrir la puerta del vehículo con la mano contraria, es decir, con la mano más alejada de la puerta. ¿Por qué deberíamos hacerlo así? Porque al hacerlo, estarás obligando a girar el cuerpo y tu cabeza en dirección contraria en la que estás estacionado y, podrás comprobar por la ventanilla del coche si algún ciclista se acerca. Haciéndolo así, evitarás un accidente.
