Under state law, bicyclists have all the same rights and resposibilities as drivers. Ride a bicycle like it is a vehicle. Bicycles are permitted on all roads, except when explicitly signed otherwise (such as on a freeway).

Ride in the same direction as vehicle tra�c, signal when making a turn, and stop for stop signs and red lights. Always pass on the left.

The Bicycle and its Equipment

Legal Rights

Ride in a clean, smooth line as far to the right as is practical. Stay in through lanes when right-turn lanes appear. Use hand signals when changing lanes or moving to avoid hazards. Ride a door’s length away from parked cars because doors can open suddenly. You may ride a safe distance from parked cars even if it means taking an entire travel lane. When a tra�c lane is too narrow to share, bicycles are allowed full use of the lane.

Be courteous on bike paths and shared-use paths. Bicyclists and skateboarders should yield to pedestrians. Yield to slower users and children. Only pass on the left with adequate clearance, and use a bell or your voice to announce that you are passing.

Government Resources

Hand SignalsHand signals tell motorists, other bicyclists, and pedestrians what you intend to do, and are required by law.

1) Like a car: Look back, signal, move into the left lane, and turn left.

2) “Box Left.” Like a pedestrian: Ride straight to the far side of the intersection, then cross in the crosswalk or queue up in the travel lane.

In general, you’re required to ride in a bike lane whenever one is provided. For your safety and convenience, you can leave a bike lane under the following circumstances:

Watch out for loose gravel, slippery utility covers, oily pavement, and ice. Avoid cracks in the pavement and sewer grates as thin tires can get stuck in these. Cross railroad tracks at a right angle. For better control as you move across bumps and other hazards, stand up on your pedals.

Stay out of blind spots of large vehicles. When approaching a driveway or cross-street, especially at high speeds, move to the left so that turn-ing drivers can see you sooner. When tra�c is stopped at a red light, move to the front of the intersection.

Use lights when you ride at night. You’re required to use a white front light and a red rear re�ector, at minimum. A red back light, bright cloth-ing, and re�ectors on your pedals and bags will make you even more visible.

Helmets are recommended for all bicyclists, skateboarders, and in-line skaters under the age of 18. For people of all ages, a properly �tted helmet reduces the risk of head injury in the event of a fall.

Bicycle theft is a common problem. Never leave your bike unlocked, not even for a second! Always use a high quality U-Lock or chain.

Always lock the frame and front wheel to a secure rack or post, since wheels can often be easily removed from a bike (see Illustration 1). For extra security remove the front wheel and lock it with the frame and rear wheel (see Illustration 2).

When leaving your bike for long periods or overnight, bring your bicycle indoors or lock in a secure location. Remove components that could easily be stolen such as lights or speedometers.

Bicycle Parking Tips

When planning your trip, keep in mind the three types of bikeways shown on the map. Bikeways are designed to be safer and more pleasant to ride than the average street.

QUICK

CHECK

is for AIRIn�ate tires to rated pressure as listed on the sidewall of the tire. Use a pressure gauge to ensure proper pressure.

Before you ride, do an “ABC Quick Check.”

is for BRAKESCheck that your brake pads are not worn too thin, that your brakes are not rubbing against your wheel or tire, and that your brake levers do not pull all the way down to your handelebars.

is for CRANKS AND CHAINMake sure your cranks (the arms to which your pedals are attached) are bolted tightly. Make sure your chain connects smoothly to your gears and doesn’t skip.

is for QUICK RELEASE LEVERS Make sure any quick release levers are tight. They are usually found on your hubs (in the center of the wheel). You may also �nd them holding your seat post in place.

is for CHECK IT OVERCheck the bike over for any loose or broken parts. Take it for a test ride to check braking and shifting.
