Motorists may not look for or see a bicycle passing on the right. Look back before you pass or merge. Leave a good 3-4 feet when passing a pedestrian or another bicyclist. A rear-view mirror is a good idea, but don t rely on it alone. Respect pedestrians rights.
Pedestrians have the right of way.
Don t cross side-walks via driveways without yielding to pedestrians. Don t ride on sidewalks. Use the street, bike lane, or bike path. Keep both hands ready to brake. You may not stop in time if you brake one-handed.
