Bike Safety Tips

• Always wear a bike helmet

• Ride on the right, never ride against traffic

• Ride in the right lane or bike lane, except when passing another vehicle, preparing for a left turn or avoiding hazards

• Ride no more than two abreast, returning to single-file if riding two abreast would impede the flow of traffic

• On curving canyon roads without bike lanes or shoulders, play it safe and ride single file

• Use hand signals to indicate left or right turns, slowing or stopping

• Use a headlight, tail light, and reflectors at night

• Obey traffic laws, signs, and signals

• Never expect the cars to see you, but ride defensively to get home alive
