  • Keep your bicycle in good mechanical condition (tires, chain, brakes).
  • Obey all traffic rules and signs -- always give proper hand signals.
  • Walk your bike across busy intersections
  • Always ride with the traffic - as close as possible to the right side of the road.
  • Be sure the roadway is clear before entering.
  • Always ride single file and watch for opening car doors.
  • Most bicycles are built to carry one person -- YOU! And you alone.
  • If you must ride your bike at night be sure your headlight and reflectors are in good condition.
  • Select the safest route to your destination and use it. Avoid busy streets and intersections.
  • Yield right of way to pedestrians.
  • Always wear a bicycle helmet.
