The Employee Benefits Office will try to make your bike commute to work easy and convenient. We can provide you with information on California Vehicle Code Laws as they apply to bicycles and information on bike routes. We will also assist you in trying to find a bike-pool partner, and we will investigate establishing convenient bike racks and locker locations for City Employees. In California, a bicycle is a vehicle subject to traffic laws. Obeying these rules and using common sense can improve the safety of your trip.

The law requires you to have good brakes.
