Different towns and cities have different regulations and ordinances that govern bicycle operations. When bicycle riders are permitted to ride on any road, drivers generally need to treat the bicycle rider like any other driver. You can access Tulsa’s full ordinance for cyclists here. Some of the relevant laws include the following: The manner of riding The proper speed Riding on the right side The right-of-way Riding abreast Restrictions of certain vehicular traffic in certain areas Lights Brakes Some highlights include: Cyclists cannot ride more than two abreast Cyclists should stay as close to the right-hand curb as possible when sharing the road Cyclists can’t park their bikes and obstruct pedestrian traffic Cyclists are not allowed on any of the following roads: The Inner Dispersal Loop (IDL) Sidewalks adjacent and parallel to South Peoria Avenue, from East 33rd Street to East 36th Street Sidewalks adjacent and parallel to East 15th Street, from South Peoria Avenue to South Utica Avenue According to Bicycle Universe, bicycles are treated as vehicles, with a full right to the road and duties towards other users, except in cases where the law wouldn’t realistically apply. Oklahoma does not mandate that riders wear helmets, but cities and towns are free to impose their own rules which may require helmets. An emerging area of increasing concern concerns bike-sharing services such as Lime, Jump and Wheels.
