BIKE COMMUTING TIPS
RULES OF THE ROAD
• Arrange for secure bike parking.
Contact your employer about parking
or carry a good lock.
• Drive your route first. Look at the
shoulder construction, street surface,
and street conditions of your route.
• Choose your route. Study maps and
base your route on traffic at the time
of day you’ll be riding.
• Be sure to check the mechanical safety
of your bike before riding.

WITH BIKE
LIGHTS
BIKE LANES are
parts of the road that
are designated for
bicycles. Treat them
like all other lanes,
and enter and exit
them predictably.
SHARED LANE
MARKINGS or
“Sharrows” are used
on roads too narrow
for bike lanes. Use
them by riding
straight through the
arrow and stay visible
and alert.
DON’T RIDE
ON THE
SIDEWALKS!
