BICYCLING SAFETY TIPS 1. All bicyclists under 18 years of age must wear a properly fitted and fastened helmet. It's the law! (Vehicle Code 21212). Adults should also wear a helmet. 2. Ride on the roadway in the same direction as the flow of traffic. 3. Obey all traffic signs and signals. 4. Bicyclists have all the rights and are subject to all the duties applicable to the driver of a motor vehicle (Vehicle Code 21200). 5. Use a strong headlight, rear reflector or taillight, and pedals with reflectors at night or when visibility is poor (Vehicle Code 21201). Bright colored clothing should also be utilized. 7. Slow down and yield to pedestrians. 8. And don't forget to lock your bike when not in use.
