Learn the rules of the road, and obey all traffic
laws.
Ride on the right side of the road, with traffic, not
against. Stay as far to the right as possible.
Use appropriate hand signals.
Respect traffic signals, stopping at all stop signs and stop
lights.
Stop and look left, right and left again before entering a
street or crossing an intersection. Look back and yield to
traffic coming from behind before turning left.
Be Predictable.
Ride in a straight line, not in and out of cars. Signal your
moves to others.
Stay Alert at All Times.
Watch out for potholes, cracks, wet leaves, storm grates,
railroad tracks, or anything that could make you lose control of
your bike.
Use your eyes AND ears. You need your ears to hear traffic
and avoid dangerous situations; don’t wear a headset when you
ride.
Watch for Parked Cars.
Ride far enough out from the curb to avoid the unexpected from
parked cars (like doors opening, or cars pulling out).
