So celebrate that you are in Eugene and that bikes belong. Being part of a community that supports cycling comes with some responsibility. First and foremost, know how to ride safely and lawfully. When you are riding in the street, your bike is a vehicle, just like a car. Same road, same rules.
Red means stop.
Nothing does more to tarnish the image of bike riding than seeing someone on a bike blow through a red light or a stop sign. This spring, we are fortunate to have around campus a bike riding officer from the Eugene Police. She will be helping to remind people of our city's expectation for people to ride safely and lawfully. Same road, same rules, same fines. We hope that people driving in cars are respectful and skilled when sharing the road with bikes, but that is not always the case.
