• Wear a helmet and bright colored clothing (reflective tape on clothing and bikes for dusk and night riding).
• Secure loose clothing like pant legs and belts.
• Ride defensively. Look out for the other guy by anticipating their actions.
• Watch out for road hazards.
• Use hand signals whenever possible to alert others using the road of your intentions.
• Pass with care. Remember turning vehicles may not see you.
• When in doubt walk your bicycle through difficult traffic situations.
• Use caution around buses and large trucks that have a larger turning radius and that may need to stop often for pedestrians.
• Lock your bicycle. Secure both wheels and the frame to a stationary object using a sturdy lock.
