Safety Tips for Bicyclists
Ride Safe.
Use caution around other riders and drivers, make sure to maintain a safe distance at all times. Wear a helmet.
Ride Right.
Ride in the right lane, except when passing another vehicle, preparing for a left turn, or avoiding hazards. Never ride in a vehicle’s blind spot, especially near intersections where a vehicle may turn.
Be Seen / Communicate Clearly.
Use hand signals to advise motorists when you plan to turn, change lanes or stop. Speak loudly to alert other riders or pedestrians when you plan to pass them, and always pass on the left when possible. Do not ride at night unless you use a headlight, taillight and reflectors, and wear bright or white clothing.
Expect the unexpected.
Never assume a motorist sees you or that you have the right-of-way. Be aware of parked vehicles pulling into traffic, vehicles doors opening into your path, and road obstacles.
Take your space.
If needed, take the entire lane to avoid obstacles or to ensure your own safety at intersections. Give yourself extra space between vehicles when crossing an intersection.
