Using your bicycle for trips at night can be a lot of fun. The most important part of riding at night is making sure others can see you. > State law requires that you have a white front light and a red reflector on the rear. Lights that blink increase your visibility and save batteries. > Wear brightly colored or reflective clothing. > Attach a rear tail light and reflective strips to your bike, helmet, jacket, backpack, etc., to make you even more visible. > Riding on the sidewalk is NOT safer than riding on the road. > Ride slowly and yield to pedestrians. > A hazardous situation can involve colliding with pedestrians, objects and cars. > Cars pulling in/out of driveways or alleys onto the street are not expecting a cyclist to dart in front of them. > Riding on the sidewalk may be illegal where you live. Check your city ordinance. > Pedestrians have the right of way and may not have great mobility (i.e. the elderly, children and disabled). It is your responsibility to safely and courteously alert them of your presence (i.e. bells or a friendly “hello”) and maneuver around them. Lane positioning tells the motorist the direction you intend to go. Use the diagram below as a guide. rule of thirds > Left third of the lane to turn left. > Middle third of the lane to go straight. > Right third of the lane to turn right. Being mindful of road conditions and situations will help you stay safe and arrive on time. Ride defensively. watch out for: > Intersections and driveways – take extra caution and pay attention to cross tra;c and turning vehicles. Follow tra;c control signals. > Right Hook – be wary of right turning cars in front of you. > Door Zone – give yourself enough distance between you and parked cars to avoid suddenly opening doors, even when riding in a bike lane. > Storm grates and gutters – both can cause you to fall. Avoid grates that can grab your tire and gutters that can be full of debris. > Uneven pavement like potholes and sharp objects such as small pieces of glass and metal can jar you and cause a flat. > Rail crossings – the tracks can catch your front wheel and are slippery when wet. The safest way to approach rail crossings is at a 90° angle. cable lock 1 2 3 > You have the same rights to the road as motorists; follow the laws (cvc 21200). > All riders under the age of 18 must wear a helmet (cvc 21212). > It is illegal to wear headphones on both ears while you ride (cvc 27400). > Obey stop signs and red lights as you would in a car; this means stop. > Ride with tra;c, never against it. 11–1324bd © 2011 lacmta sidewalk caution eyes on the road The best way to keep your bike safe is to lock it properly. In addition to locking the frame with a sturdy chain or u-lock, secure the wheels (or other quick- release components). Using an additional lock will ensure your bike is just the way you left it.

(Residential streets usually have slower tra;c and often parallel major roads.) be prepared: > Make sure your bicycle is functioning properly. Carry a spare tube, patch kit, pump and tire levers in case you get a flat. plan your trip lane positioning (cvc 21202) Because of their size and frequent stops, buses deserve extra attention when you are riding with them. Pass buses on the left. Buses pull over to facilitate easy boarding/exiting by bus riders. Passing on the right puts you at risk of a bus turning into you (e.g. “right hook"). Buses have large blind spots that make it di;cult for bus operators to see you.

Make sure it is properly folded. An important part of being safe on the road is using the appropriate hand signals. Develop a habit of signaling when your direction changes. Hand signals should be used when turning, stopping or changing lanes. Because bicyclists aren’t always riding in front of cars, signaling helps others become aware of your presence and shows your intentions to motorists. signals – bicycles use them, too left turn (figure C) Extend your left arm straight out parallel to the road and in the direction of the turn. right turn (figure B) Extend your left arm parallel to the road and angle your forearm vertically upward or use your right arm extended straight out. stop (figure A) Extend your left arm out to the left, parallel to the road and angle your forearm vertically downward.
