Biking Safety

1. Wear a helmet and don't ride with headphones
   Always wear a helmet. Never wear headphones while riding a bike.
2. Obey traffic signs and signals
   Learn all traffic laws. Bicycles are considered vehicles and must follow the rules of the road.
3. Never ride against traffic
   Always go single file in the same direction as other vehicles. Riding against traffic puts you where motorists don't expect to see you.
4. Make yourself visible
   Wear bright colors in daylight and use lights at night.
5. Stay alert
   Watch for road hazards such as potholes, cracks, railroad tracks, wet leaves, drainage grates, ice, gravel or anything that could make you fall.
6. Keep both hands on the brakes
   It is more difficult to stop in time if you brake one-handed.
7. Use hand signals
   Signal your turns as a way of telling motorists and pedestrians what you intend to do.
8. Follow lane markings
   Don't turn left from the right lane. Don't go straight in a lane marked "right-turn only."
9. Keep your bike in good condition
   Check brakes and tires regularly.
10. Don't pass on the right
    Motorists may not look for or see a bicycle passing on the right.

1. Pass with care
   Give a cyclist 3 to 4 feet of space when you overtake them. As long as oncoming traffic is clear, you can cross the center line to pass a bicyclist safely, unless it is a double yellow line.
2. Travel at a safe following distance
   Don't tailgate. Treat bicyclists the same as you would a slow moving car.
3. Use your turn signal
   Always use your signal and make sure to do so far enough in advance so bicyclists can make an effort to stay out of your blind spot.
4. Look before opening your car door
   Check rear-view mirrors and look over your shoulder before you open a car door on the road side.
5. Check the bike lane
   Always look behind you when turning right across a bike lane. Even if you passed a bicyclist more than a block ago, they may have traveled fast enough to catch up with you.
6. Be cautious when making a left hand turn
   Look for cyclists when turning left. Cyclists who are going straight through the intersection in the opposite direction may be going faster than you realize.
7. Don't honk
   Don't blast your horn in close proximity to bicyclists. The noise can cause a cyclist to lose their bearings, resulting in a hazardous situation for everyone.
8. Be considerate
   Cyclists have a right to be on the road but are vulnerable because of their size, low visibility and overall lack of protection. Be sure to scan for them in traffic and at intersections.
