Bicycle Tips
Rules of the Road
1. Obey traffic signs and signals; they apply to all vehicles, including bicycles. Abiding by traffic laws will gain you respect from other road users.
2. Wherever there is a bike lane provided, you must use it if your speed is less than the auto traffic.
3. Ride predictably. Try to travel in a straight line, and about a car door's width away from parked cars.
4. If you are riding erratically, drivers may find it difficult to know when it is safe to pass.
5. Don't weave in and out between parked cars.
6. Avoid riding beside another cyclist. Depending on road and/or traffic conditions, this can cause motor vehicles to back up behind you.
7. Communicate your intentions by using hand signals when turning or changing lanes.
8. Always ride with, never against traffic.
