Bike Cleveland | Working For Safe Streets | Sunday Driver
We're all drivers...
Pastor Gibson rides his bike religiously, but he shouldn’t need a blessing just to make it to Sunday Service safely. Respect his space and help him go in peace.
Your Road. My Road. Our Road.
Pastor Gibson understands the importance of bicycles for our society. As the spiritual leader of a neighborhood where many people don’t own cars, he knows that people rely on their bikes as their primary means of transportation. People on bikes are legal road vehicles, and at the end of the day, we’re all just trying to get where we need to go. Remember, we’re all drivers…

Here is some info everyone should know
Ohio Revised Code §4511.01, 4511.55 — Bikes are legal vehicles and belong on the road. Cyclists can use the full travel lane just like cars. Take the lane if you feel the need to do so; it’s your right.
Cleveland Ordinance § 473.03(d) & Ohio Revised Code 4511.27 Overtaking and passing of vehicles proceeding in the same direction – You must give cyclists at least 3 feet of space when you pass them on the street (6 feet if you’re driving a commercial vehicle) and change lanes to pass when a second lane is present. No one likes getting buzzed by a larger vehicle, and a side swipe for a cyclist can be fatal.
Ohio Revised Code §4511.55(B) — Ohio law allows cyclists to ride side by side, but we suggest that bikes “single up” out of courtesy when the cyclists deem it safe and reasonable to do so if the traffic is backing up.
Cleveland Ordinance § 473.09(a) — No person shall ride a bicycle, skateboard or roller skates upon a sidewalk within a business district. In any event, it’s usually a bad idea for adults or bigger kids to ride on the sidewalk.
Ohio Revised Code §4511.56 — Bike lights are required at night. Red for the back, white for the front; you’re invisible at night without them.
Ohio Revised Code §4511.07(A)(8), 4511.051(2) — No local regulation can prohibit the use of bicycles on any roadway with the exception that a cyclist cannot ride on a Freeway.
