SAFETY GUIDELINES
Wear a properly fitted bicycle helmet.
Make sure you understand how your bike works including shifting,
throttle power, and braking power.
Check your equipment. Before riding, inflate tires properly and check
that your brakes work.
Remain visible by wearing bright or reflective clothing, having proper
reflectors, and if possible, avoid riding at night.
Watch for and avoid road hazards.
RULES OF THE ROAD
Bicycles in many States are considered vehicles, and cyclists have the
same rights and the same responsibilities to follow the rules of the
road as motorists. When riding, always:
Go With the Traffic Flow. Ride on the right in the same direction as
other vehicles. Go with the flow – not against it.
Obey All Traffic Laws. A bicycle is a vehicle and you’re a driver. When
you ride in the street, obey all traffic signs, signals, and lane markings.
Yield to Traffic When Appropriate. Almost always, drivers on a smaller
road must yield (wait) for traffic on a major or larger road. If there is no
stop sign or traffic signal and you are coming from a smaller roadway
(out of a driveway, from a sidewalk, a bike path, etc.), you must slow
down and look to see if the way is clear before proceeding. This also
means yielding to pedestrians who have already entered a crosswalk.
Stay Alert at All Times. Use your eyes AND ears. Watch out for
potholes, cracks, wet leaves, storm grates, railroad tracks, or anything
that could make you lose control of your bike. You need your ears to
hear traffic and avoid dangerous situations; don’t wear a headset
when you ride.
For riders over 10 Years of Age. The safest place for bicycle riding is
on the street, where bicycles are expected to follow the same rules of
the road as motorists and ride in the same direction.
