Riding a bike you should know
Cycling is not only environmentally friendly but also can exercise, so loved by many people.People tend to neglect some safety problems in time to ride.
A bicyclist is required to ride as near the right side of the road as is safe, exercising due care when passing a standing vehicle or one proceeding in the same direction —

 

except when making a left turn, when the lane is too narrow to share with another vehicle or when on a one-way street.
Be sure to turn on bicycle front lights when you ride at night.
Bicyclists may ride abreast when not impeding other vehicles. Bicyclists must also obey all traffic signals and signs, the same as required of drivers of other vehicles.
Cyclists should use hand signals to let others know when they will turn left, right or stop.
Although not required by state law, wearing a bicycle helmet while riding is one of the most important things cyclists can do to protect themselves.
Be sure the helmet is the proper size, and adjust the straps for a snug fit.
Riding a bicycle on the sidewalk within a business district is prohibited; when riding a bicycle elsewhere upon a sidewalk, the bicycle rider shall yield the right-of-way to any

 

pedestrian and shall give audible signal before overtaking and passing any pedestrian.
Bicycle riders, when riding on a street or highway, are granted all the rights and are subject to all the traffic regulations applicable to drivers of motor vehicles, except

 

those that by their very nature do not apply.
A bicycle must be equipped with a brake or brakes that will enable its driver to stop the bicycle within 25 feet from a speed of 10 miles per hour on dry, level, clean pavement.
We must pay attention to safety when cycling, which for ourselves and others are very important.
