When You Are a Cyclist

ARTICLE 27 Bicyclists and Users of Play Vehicles; Rights and Duties

Bicyclists should remember, when you are riding a bicycle, you have the same duties and privileges of a motor vehicle when on a public roadway. Unlike pedestrians, who should walk facing traffic, bicyclists should ride with the flow of traffic and obey all traffic laws.

If you ride a bicycle on a roadway, especially at dawn or at dusk, consider wearing retro-reflective clothing to help increase your chances of being seen by motorists.

When riding a bicycle, you must:

Ride as a vehicle, ride with traffic, and obey all traffic signs.
Ride as far to the right as practical.
If you are riding your bike after dark, use lights and reflectors to help increase your chances of being seen by motorists.
If a bike lane is present, stay in the bike lane unless your destination lies in a different direction.
For instance, if you need to pass another bicyclist, turn left, or if a roadway obstruction exists, you would move outside of the bike lane.
If you are riding in a group, do no ride more than two side-by-side.
