reflective tapes to your helmet and clothing. Pant clips will keep pant legs away from the bicycle chain. A rain cape or suit will keep you dry. A helmet cover is preferable to a hood, which can obstruct vision when you turn your head. Dress in layers so you can subtract or add garments to suit the temperature. Riding Safely PREPARATION This map is designed as an aid to safe bicycling in the Tri-Cities. Experiment with different options, making the route longer or shorter to fit your ability. Before starting a longer ride give your bicycle a thorough inspection, using the ABC-Quick Check method: A – check the tires for proper Air pressure. B – check the Brakes to ensure that they are able to lock up the wheels from a rolling stop. C – make sure the Chain is clean and properly lubricated. Quick – make sure the Quick Release levers (or wheel hub nuts) are tight. Check – Check the rest of the bike for loose parts, proper gear shifting, other needed adjustments and fix problems before you hit the road. RIDING DEFENSIVELY. Assume motorists don’t see you! Keep your eyes on other drivers. Motorists are more likely to respect your right to share the roadway if you drive legally and predictably. Avoid weaving in and out of traffic. Be alert. Watch for debris on the roadway. Cross railroad tracks at right angles or walk your bicycle. Avoid grates and manhole covers. Never ride closer than three feet to a parked car. If you notice someone sitting in a car, move left or be prepared to stop. The car door may open. EQUIPPING YOUR BICYCLE A front head lamp which can be seen for 500 feet is required for night cycling, as is a rear reflector visible from 100 to 600 feet in the low beam headlights of an automobile. A front reflector is required at all times. Rear tail lights are readily available and an advisable option. Carry a basic tool kit consisting of tire levers, patch kit, wrenches, screw drivers, Allen keys, needle nose pliers, pocket knife and spoke wrench, as well as a spare inner tube, rear brake cable and light bulbs. A chain and lock should always be carried. A handlebar or helmet mirror is a valuable tool for riders. Pay special attention to your brakes. EQUIPPING YOURSELF Carry extra water and foul weather clothing. Wear sunglasses to protect eyes from bugs and ultra- violet rays. Wear a Snell, ANSI, or CPSC approved helmet. Wear bright colored clothing. Yellow or lime green is most visible. Increase your visibility by adding CAUTIONARY TALES BRIDGES Travel issues across two local bridges merit attention. The Blue Bridge: As indicated on the map, there is a multi-use path on the east side of the bridge. It is recommended bikes be walked across the Blue Bridge. The Cable Bridge: The bridge has multi-use pathways on both sides where bikes may be ridden. ROUNDABOUTS Two local roundabouts should be approached with caution. These locations are: the intersection of Keene Road/ Bombing Range Road south of West Richland; and the intersection of Steptoe Street/Columbia Park Trail/SR 240 Bypass Off-Ramp between Richland and Kennewick. Both locations are marked with an orange target icon on the map. DESTINATIONS OF INTEREST Four destinations of interest were identified by local cyclists: The USS Triton Submarine Memorial Park in north Richland; Sacajawea State Park and the Maya Lin sculpture in southeast Pasco; The Hanford Reach Interpretive Center along south bank of the Columbia River; and the Carousel of Dreams in south Kennewick. They are identified by a red star icon on the map. TRI-CITY AREA BICYCLE ORGANIZATIONS TRI-CITY BICYCLE CLUB P.O. Box 465 Richland, WA 99352 tricitybicycleclub.org 3 RIVERS BICYCLE COALITION c/o J.

Photo Credits: Pedestrians on trail with river and hill in background - G. White/City of Pasco TURNING LEFT SAFELY: Like an auto. Signal and move into left lane and turn left; or Like a pedestrian. Ride straight to the far side crosswalk, then walk your bike across. AVOIDING COLLISIONS Motorists’ failure to yield the right-of-way causes 1/3 of all bike/ car collisions. Don’t be taken unprepared if a vehicle pulls out in front of you from a stop sign or a left turn. The best way to avoid accidents of this type is to ride in a straight line and stay where the motorist expects to see traffic. Make yourself visible by wearing brightly colored clothing. Make eye contact with drivers whenever possible to clarify your intent and also to verify their intent to yield. Cyclists’ failure to yield accounts for the other major cause of car/ bike collision. Don’t ride out of driveways without stopping, run red lights and stop signs, or turn left in front of cars without checking for traffic. Do not pass cars on the right, especially at an intersection. Another problem is created by bicyclists who ride at night without lights. Make sure to use headlights and consider tail lights and other reflective material to increase your visibility. To avoid being hit from behind, become proficient at looking over your shoulder without swerving. Obtain a rear view mirror and use it regularly to check traffic. On freeways where bicycles are permitted, use only the shoulders and not the freeway travel lanes. Travel in the same direction as traffic. Take special care when crossing on and off ramps since cyclists are not expected there. Be sure to use hand signals. RIDING LEGALLY As a bicyclist, you are entitled to all the rights of the road, but you must accept the responsibilities, too. NEVER RIDE AGAINST TRAFFIC. Obey all traffic lights, signs and other traffic control devices. Pull over if you are holding up five or more vehicles. Do not use sidewalks except where designated as a bicycle path. Maintain a safe speed on paths shared with pedestrians. Pedestrians have the right-of-way; always yield to them. Tell other cyclists and pedestrians when passing and pass on the left. Use hand signals for left turn, right turn, slow or stop. (Washington allows use of the right hand to signal a right turn for bicycles.) Do not ride with head phones or ear buds. These devices decrease a riders’ situational awareness, thus increasing the risk of accidents to themselves and others. Restrictions: Riding bicycles is not allowed on the SR 240 Yakima River bridge roadway or the SR 395 Columbia River bridge roadway. Bikes must use the side paths on these structures. HAZARDS Water decreases braking efficiency, and wet pavement can be slick on turns. Railroad tracks and steel grates are also especially slick when wet. Even a friendly dog can be a hazard if he gets in front of your wheel or jumps up on you. Command the dog to “Go home!” in a loud, firm voice. If it doesn’t respond, dismount and walk away slowly with the bicycle between you and the dog. To discourage a truly aggressive dog you may have to resort to throwing dirt or using a commercial spray deterrent (this should be done only as the last resort). • Tackweeds or “goatheads” are small thorns that are found on a variety of local vegetation. These pests can be a problem on city streets as well as on off-street paths. A rider could install metal “tire savers” under the caliper brake supports, use thorn-resistant tubes or Kevlar strips between the tube and tire or use Slime (a puncture sealant) in your wheels. The Tri-Cities’ desert condition can easily cause the cyclist to dehydrate. Carry two water bottles and drink frequently. • Use an adequate sunscreen to block excess exposure to ultraviolet rays from the hot desert sun. The most intense rays occur between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m., May through October. Winds with gusts up to 35 miles an hour or more are a common occurrence in the Tri-Cities. Be sure to travel a safe distance from traffic in case a wind gust blows you.

CAUTIONARY TALES

BRIDGESTravel issues across two local bridges merit attention.

The Blue Bridge: As indicated on the map, there is a multi-use path on the east side of the bridge. It is recommended bikes be walked across the Blue Bridge.

The Cable Bridge: The bridge has multi-use pathways on both sides where bikes may be ridden.

ROUNDABOUTSTwo local roundabouts should be approached with caution. These locations are: the intersection of Keene Road/ Bombing Range Road south of West Richland; and the intersection of Steptoe Street/Columbia Park Trail/SR 240 Bypass Off-Ramp between Richland and Kennewick. Both locations are marked with an orange target icon on the map.

DESTINATIONS OF INTERESTFour destinations of interest were identified by local cyclists: The USS Triton Submarine Memorial Park in north Richland; Sacajawea State Park and the Maya Lin sculpture in southeast Pasco; The Hanford Reach Interpretive Center along south bank of the Columbia River; and the Carousel of Dreams in south Kennewick. They are identified by a red star icon on the map.
