Bicycle Safety Tips for Commuters

Cyclists should take extra precautions when riding in urban areas:

• Wear a helmet and visible or reflective clothing.
• Obey traffic signals and signs, and always use designated bike lanes when available.
• Be aware of vehicle blind spots and maintain a safe distance from parked and moving cars.
• Use lights and reflectors during evening or low-light rides.

Drivers should also watch for bicycles, reduce speed near intersections, and avoid distractions to prevent collisions.
