A bicycle is recognized legally as a vehicle and must be driven in a manner consistent with any other vehicle on the road. Although a bicycle is very maneuverable, this does not mean a cyclist can violate traffic laws with impunity. Always follow the rules of the road, and obey all traffic laws.
Bicycles are relatively quiet.
Pedestrians and other traffic may not be aware of you. You must communicate your presence or intentions to pedestrians and other traffic when changing lanes, turning or passing. A cyclist should always exercise due caution. Lane Changing - Plan ahead, look behind and signal your intentions. Act carefully, smoothly and deliberately.
