Drive Your Bike
League Cycling Instructors (LCI’s) teach a very basic principle to all riders:
“Bicyclists fare best when they act & are treated as drivers of vehicles.”
Here’s some tips on how to do that:
1
2
First come, first served. Like a car, bikes have a right to their space in a lane
on the road and other drivers must yield to them.
Drive on the right. Bikes are a vehicles and should be in the right side of the
street, traveling in the same direction as other traffic. Riding against traffic is
extremely dangerous. Sidewalk riding is also more dangerous and not legal in
some cities.
3
Yield to Cross Traffic. Bikes are smaller
than cars and harder to spot. Only enter
a roadway, especially from alleys or
driveways, when it is safe to do so. And,
please obey all traffic control devices.
4
Yield for lane changes. When preparing
to make a turn it is often necessary to
change lanes. Before changing lanes:
• Plan ahead and be predictable
Photo courtesy of John Hardy
• Scan to make sure it’s clear
(This also communicates your intention to other drivers.)
• Signal your intention to turn
5
• Use caution and never move more than one lane at a time or move in
front of vehicle in a way to cause a hazard.
Speed positioning. Usually stopped or parked vehicles are closest to the curb with faster vehicles towards the center. Passing or overtaking traffic on the
right is not something other drivers expect and can be risky. If traveling at the
same speed as traffic, take control of the whole lane.
6
Ride as far to the right as practicable. That does not mean to ride on the
curb or in the gutter, where it is harder for cars to spot a bike. It does mean
leaving room for cars to pass if the lane is wide enough to share. (A 14’ lane
allows cars the required 3’ to pass). If in a narrower lane or there are hazards,
take full control of the lane so that other vehicles do not attempt to pass
unsafely.

Safe Routes
to School
Gets Kids
Moving
The Minnesota
Department of Health
(MDH) is supporting
communities throughout
Minnesota to make it
safer and easier for kids to
bicycle and walk to school. MDH has helped over
180 schools across Minnesota begin or expand
their Safe Routes to School (SRTS) programs
through the Statewide Health Improvement
Program (SHIP).
Early successes, such as Red Pine Elementary
School in Eagan, Minn., show that Safe Routes to School can
help get more families bicycling and walking. In just three
years, Red Pine’s SRTS program has doubled the number of
children bicycling and walking to school and has reduced traffic
congestion problems during drop-off and pick-up times.
SRTS combines safety, enforcement, education and promotion
activities to encourage more families to choose an active way of
getting to and from school. Children under the age of
18 should get 60 minutes of physical activity each
day top stay healthy. Bicycling or walking to and
from school can help kids meet that goal. Research
also shows that getting physical activity helps children arrive to
school more focused and ready to learn.
“When I see kids walk and bike to school, I see kids that are
full of energy the minute they step into our school,” said Red
Pine Principal Gary Anger.
SRTS programs can benefit the whole community. Safety
improvements help not only children and families, but seniors
and others walking or bicycling in the area around the school.
Community members can also get involved as volunteers as
Safe Routes to School champions to get a new program
started or to help with specific programs such as bicycle
trains or walking school buses.
