Ways to stay safe while biking

• Yield to pedestrians
• Always wear a helmet
• Always follow normal traffic laws (right side of the street, with traffic flow, obey lights and stop signs)
• Always use lights at night and wear bright colored clothing
• Use hand signals when turning (clearly communicate what you’re doing to drivers)
• Don’t make unexpected turns or dart across traffic (its not a video game, its your life)
• Stay away from large vehicles (buses and trucks have a hard time seeing bikers, just give them lots of space)
