Eye protection is also recommended to keep bugs, dirt, and other debris from getting into your eyes. Equip your bike with the proper safety attachments, including an audible warning device, a headlight and a tail light. Oxford City Ordinances require this equipment, as does State law. Obey all traffic laws when riding your bike, and remain alert for potential hazards. Drains can trap your wheel and cause an accident.
Motorists opening a door into the roadway can also cause injury.
Be aware of vehicles passing you, and always check over your shoulder before crossing a lane of traffic. Theft Prevention A bicycle registration service is provided at no charge by the Miami University Police. Although registration is not required, it is strongly recommended. Registering your bike helps us return abandoned bikes to their owners, and also records the information needed to file a police report if a bike is stolen. A picture ID is required to register.
