- Ride on the right. On roadways, always ride with traffic. Bicycles may use the entire lane.
- Leave plenty of room when passing parked cars to avoid opening doors.

- Be alert and plan ahead to avoid obstacles.
- Always check over your shoulder before changing your lane position.
- Never weave between parked cars.
- Obey traffic signs and signals.
- Use hand signals. It can be as simple as pointing in the direction you plan to go.
- Yield to pedestrians.
- On the bike path, alert others of your approach by ringing a bell or horn or by announcing, “Passing on your left.”
- Riding on sidewalks jeopardizes walkers.
