Chapter : Guide to Safe On-and-Off Road Operation
If a car suddenly enters your lane,
or someone unexpectedly opens
the door of a parked car, you could
be involved in a serious accident.
Mount a horn or bell on your
bicycle, and use it to alert others of
your approach.

Wear a helmet
that meets CPSC
or CE safety
testing standards
(Figure 9); it
may help prevent
injury.
Helmets should
be removed when
not riding the
bicycle. If the
helmet is caught,
stuck on, or stuck
between objects, the wearer could
choke.
Wear protective clothing including
helmet, eye protection, and gloves.
Avoid loose-fitting pants that could
get caught in the chain.
Also wear light, bright, and reflec-
tive clothing to make yourself more
visible, especially at night.

No brakes, whatever their
design, work as effectively in wet
weather as they do in dry. Even
properly aligned, lubricated,
and maintained brakes require
greater lever pressure and longer

Most state and local areas have
specific laws for cyclists, and you
should follow them. Local cycling
clubs or your state’s Department
of Transportation (or equivalent)
should be able to supply this
information to you. The require-
ments for items such as lights and
reflectors change between areas,
so check ahead.
These are a few of the more
important rules of riding:
Use proper hand signals.
Ride single file when riding
with other cyclists.
• Ride on the correct side of the
road; never go against traffic.
Ride defensively; expect the
unexpected. A cyclist is hard to
see, and many drivers simply
are not trained to recognize
the rights and special consider-
ations of a bicycle rider.

Watch for and avoid potholes,
drain grates, soft or low shoulders,
and other deviations which could
impact your wheels or cause them
to slip. When
crossing railroad
tracks or drain
grates, do so
carefully at a 90°
angle (Figure 8).
If you are not sure
of riding surface
conditions, walk
your bike.
