If you or someone you know has been saved by a helmet, you can join our Saved by the Helmet Club. Just write to the address on the back of this brochure. By using your bike and not your car, you're saving yourself the cost of gasoline, parking, and saving the environment. Safe riders communicate all turning and merging to all other roadway users - other bicyclists, pedestrians, and motorists. Safe riders are careful to not ride too far to the right of a street, where debris and parked vehicles pose hazards.
Safe riders follow lane markings for turning or going through an intersection.
Riding on sidewalks is OK in some cities and not in others, but pedestrians always have the right of way. If you ride on bike paths or sidewalks, use caution whenever crossing a road or street. It's at these intersections where most crashes happen. Signal, look over shoulder, merge into the left lane, then turn. Ride to the intersection's far corner and use the crosswalk as a pedestrian.
