Bike Safety: Best Practices

  • Wear a helmet. Helmets dramatically reduce the risk of head injury in a bicycle accident.
  • Ride on sidewalks only when necessary and always yield to pedestrians. Riding on the sidewalk is illegal in downtown Washington, DC.
  • Follow all traffic laws. Bicyclists are required to obey all regulatory signs and traffic lights.
  • Use hand signals. Tell motorists, cyclists and pedestrians what you intend to do. Be predictable!
  • Beware of parked cars. Don’t ride too close to parked vehicles. Ride at least 5 feet away from parked vehicles, if possible, and watch for people exiting—doors can open at any time.
  • Be careful at intersections. Watch for crossing vehicle traffic at intersections, even if you have the right-of-way.
  • Never ride against traffic. Ride with traffic to avoid potential crashes.
  • Ride in single file, except when passing.
  • Be alert. Scan the road. Always know your surroundings.
  • Be Vocal. Give an audible signal when passing other people on bicycles, and pass only on the left
