- Protect Your Head
Never ride a bike without a properly fitted helmet.
- Assure Bicycle Readiness
Ride a bike that fits you and check all parts of the bicycle to make sure they are secure and working well.
- Learn and Follow the Rules of the Road
Bicycles are considered vehicles on the road; therefore riders must follow the same traffic laws as drivers of motor vehicles.
- Act Like a Driver of a Motor Vehicle
Always ride with the flow of traffic, on the right side of the road, and as far to the right of the road as is practicable and safe.
- Be Visible
Always assume you are not seen by others and take responsibility for making yourself visible to motorists, pedestrians and other cyclists.
- “Drive with Care”
When you ride, consider yourself the driver of a vehicle and always keep safety in mind. Ride in the bike lane, if available. Take extra care when riding on a roadway. Courtesy and predictability are key to safe cycling.
- Stay Focused. Stay Alert
Never wear headphones as they hinder your ability to hear traffic. Be aware of your surroundings and ride defensively.
