BICYCLE SAFETY AVOID A COSTLY MISTAKE Before you take to the road with your bicycle, it’s imperative to know and practice all the fundamentals of riding a bicycle. Did you know bicyclists are subject to the same rules, laws and regulations as motor vehicles? Ignoring rules of the road that regulate passing, riding abreast, use of hand signals, stop signs, and other etiquette will determine your fate on the roadway. If all else fails, always adhere to the lug nut rule: he who has the most lug nuts wins. In other words, a car will always win over a bicycle. So ride carefully and cautiously to avoid a costly mistake and a crash course in bicycling. • Always ride on the RIGHT. Remember to “go with the traffic flow.” Never ride against traffic. Cars will not be expecting to find a biker when they round a corner or go over a hill. • Ride single file. When passing other bikers or pedestrians, let them know your position by shouting something like, “On your left!” • When riding two abreast, do not impede the movement of traffic. If you are on a road with lanes, you must ride within a single lane. • Always check behind you when changing lanes. • Watch out for dangerous things on the roadways or on trails. Road litter, puddles of water, loose gravel, and storm gates can cause you to lose BICYCLISTS MUST OBEY AT ALL TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES JUST LIKE MOTOR VEHICLES. FOR EXAMPLE, IF THE TRAFFIC LIGHT IS RED, THEY MUST OBEY THE TRAFFIC LAW AND STOP. control of your bicycle. • Stop at all stop signs and traffic lights. Be extra careful at crossroads. Walk your bicycle across busy intersections. • Always signal before making a left or right turn. To make a left turn, look behind you, hold your left arm straight out and proceed carefully. For a right turn, hold your left arm out and up in an “L” shape. • Keep control of your bike. Do not swerve or make sudden turns. Drivers may not be able to react fast enough to avoid colliding with you. • Ride at least three feet away from parked cars. Someone could open his or her door unexpectedly. • Listen for cars approaching from the side or behind you. • Do not follow cars too closely (you may be in their blind spot). • Know your road signs and obey them. A smart bicyclist follows the rules of the road. • Always be prepared to stop. Keep your hands on or close to the brakes. • Do not forget to wear your helmet! And do not wear headphones; you will not be able to hear what is going on around you.
