- DO NOT HONK YOUR HORN AT BICYCLISTS
They may be startled and lose control.
- USE EXTRA CAUTION WHEN PASSING
BICYCLES
Move entirely into the left lane; on a two-lane road, don’t pass a
bicycle if oncoming traffic is near.
- BICYCLISTS MIGHT SWERVE TO AVOID
ROAD HAZARDS
Common road hazards for bicyclists are potholes, debris, drainage
grates, railroad tracks, and narrow bridges.
- BE CAREFUL WHEN OPENING YOUR
VEHICLE DOOR
Road widths often force bicyclists to ride close to parked vehicles
where they may be injured by an opening door.
- WHEN IN DOUBT, YIELD TO BICYCLES

- ALWAYS WEAR A HELMET
- RIDE ON THE RIGHT
Ride in the right lane, except when passing another vehicle,
preparing for a left turn, or avoiding hazards.
- NEVER RIDE AGAINST TRAFFIC
Always ride with the flow of traffic.
- OBEY TRAFFIC SIGNS AND SIGNALS
Use hand signals to advise motorists you plan to turn, change
lanes or stop.
- MAKE EYE CONTACT WITH MOTORISTS
Never assume a motorist sees you or that you have the
right-of-way. Expect the unexpected such as: parked vehicles pulling
into traffic; vehicle doors opening into your path; and debris on
the road.

REFLECTORS
