B) RIDING SAFETY
1. Obey all Rules of the Road and all local trafc laws.
2. You are sharing the road or the path with others —
motorists, pedestrians and other cyclists. Respect
their rights.
3. Ride defensively. Always assume that others do not
see you.
4. Look ahead, and be ready to avoid:
• Vehicles slowing or turning, entering the road or your
lane ahead of you, or coming up behind you.
• Parked car doors opening.
• Pedestrians stepping out.
• Children or pets playing near the road.
• Pot holes, sewer grating, railroad tracks, expansion
joints, road or sidewalk construction, debris and other
obstructions that could cause you to swerve into trafc,
catch your wheel or otherwise cause you to lose control
and have an accident.
• The many other hazards and distractions which can
occur on a bicycle ride.
5.
Ride in designated bike lanes, on designated bike paths
or as close to the edge of the road as possible, in the
direction of trafc ow or as directed by local governing
laws.
6. Stop at stop signs and trafc lights; slow down and
look both ways at street intersections. Remember that a
bicycle always loses in a collision with a motor vehicle,
so be prepared to yield even if you have the right of way.
7. Use approved hand signals for turning and stopping.
8. Never ride with headphones. They mask trafc sounds and
emergency vehicle sirens, distract you from concentrating
on what’s going on around you, and their wires can tangle in
the moving parts of the bicycle, causing you to lose control.
9. Never carry a passenger; and, before installing a child
carrier or trailer, check with your dealer or the bicycle
manufacturer to make sure the bicycle is designed for it.
If the bicycle is suitable for a child carrier or trailer, make
sure that the carrier or trailer is correctly mounted and
the child is secured and wearing an approved helmet.
10. Never carry anything which obstructs your vision or
your complete control of the bicycle, or which could
become entangled in the moving parts of the bicycle.
11. Never hitch a ride by holding on to another vehicle.
12. Don’t do stunts, wheelies or jumps. If you intend to
do stunts, wheelies, jumps or go racing with your bike
despite our advice not to, read Section 2.F, Downhill,
Stunt or Competition Biking, now. Think carefully about
your skills before deciding to take the large risks that go
with this kind of riding.
13. Don’t weave through trafc or make any moves that
may surprise people with whom you are sharing the road.
14. Observe and yield the right of way.
15. Never ride your bicycle while under the inuence of
alcohol or drugs.
16. If possible, avoid riding in bad weather, when
visibility is obscured, at dusk or in the dark, or when
extremely tired. Each of these conditions increases the
risk of accident.
C) OFF ROAD SAFETY
We recommend that children not ride on rough terrain
unless they are accompanied by an adult.
