Check brakes and tires regularly. It is the responsibility of the organization that owns these vehicles to properly maintain them. Never ride with headphones or any type of hearing protection. Bicycles must drive like other vehicles if they are to be taken seriously by motorists. Never ride against traffic.
State law requires that bicyclists travel in the same direction as all other traffic for the lane.
Signaling is required by law and is a matter of courtesy, and self-protection. Do not weave between parked cars. Do not ride near the curb between parked cars unless they are far apart. Motorists may not see you when you try to move back into traffic. Ride in the middle of the lane at busy intersections and whenever you are moving at the same speed as traffic.
