Bicycling Tips

With National Bike Month right around the corner, we would like to share these tips from the League of American Bicyclists to help make your rides enjoyable and safe!

• Have your bike checked over by your local bike shop

• Always wear a helmet to protect your head in the event of a crash

• Ride in the right-most lane that goes in the direction that you are traveling

• Obey all stop signs, traffic lights and lane markings

• Look before you change lanes or signal a turn; indicate your intention, then act

• Be visible and predictable at all times; wear bright clothing and signal turns
