Eight (8) Tips For Bicycling Safely in Traffic by Mary Marino-McDonnell
Bicycling is one of the most enjoyable forms of transportation - and can be the safest if the cyclist respects the rules of the roads and other motorists on the road.
The following tips are all suggestions for ensuring the safety of the cyclist - as well as any others traveling on the road either on another cycle or in motor vehicle.
1.Make the motorist know you are there - where bright colors at all times and have front and rear lights on your bike after dusk and before dawn.
2.Ride defensively and be predictable so motorists know that you know what you are doing and feel comfortable on the road with you. Be courteous and respectful of the rules of the road and conditions at any location.
3.Don't weave in and out of empty spaces on the side of the road between any parked vehicles. Others on the road cannot see you and predict what you are going to do. Cycle in a straight line parallel with the traffic and with parked cars.
4.Use hand signals for turns, lane changes and stops. Use your left arm with a finger pointed for left turns and right arm with a finger pointed for right turns. It helps gain mutual respect between the cyclist and motorists.
5.As with motorists, be aware of your surroundings as you ride your bike. Always be aware of other cars, children and pets by scanning each side street and residential areas.
6.When traffic is stop and go - you - the cyclist, can move as fast as the vehicles in the traffic. Don't weave in and out of the vehicles in traffic. Ride well into the lane when the traffic is stop and go. If you hug the curb, you are less visible and it is tempting for drivers to squeeze by.
7.Don't try to gain ground at red lights by passing a line of cars on your left. It is illegal and can cause an accident if the first car is making a right on red or if oncoming traffic has a green arrow allowing them to make a left turn crossing in front of you and the vehicles stopped along side of you. Wait out the red light and proceed with the same actions as a motor vehicle.
8.Be aware of sun glare in early morning and late in the day. Not only will it hinder your clear view of the road, but it hinders the motorists too and they may not see you. If possible, alter your route so that you don't ride directly into the sun.
In summary, always keep in mind, If a motorist can't see you - they can't avoid you! Be aware of your surroundings and while pedaling always be prepared to brake.
By following these simple tips, your bike ride will be a safer and less stressful trip. Happy Cycling!
