Under the law, bicycles are considered vehicles just as cars are.
Among the rules cyclists must follow, these five are especially important:① Ride on the road, on the left side; use the sidewalk only in exceptional circumstances, andalways yield to pedestrians② At intersections obey traffic lights and stop signs, and make sure it is safe
before you go ahead③ At night, turn on your headlight④ Never ride while under the influence of alcohol⑤ Always wear a helmet, it has been a make an effort since April 1st
There are many other traffic rules that bicycle riders have to follow.
Remember that your bicycle is a vehicle just like a car is; follow the traffic rules and use good roadmanners; and avoid being either a victim or a cause of an accident by always riding safely.
