Wear a helmet
Don’t pass on the right
Watch for turning cars
Wear bright or reflective clothing
Be predictable—don’t weave in and out of traffic
Use white front and red rear lights day and night
Stay outside the door zone when passing parked cars
Ride with the flow of traffic
Use caution riding on the sidewalk, crossing driveways and streets
