Be polite and be smart. Show respect for all users ofthe road and you’ll get respect back as a result.Cyclists and Drivers: Same roads, same rules, samerights and responsibilities.Show respect to others2B I C Y C L I S T S
Wear white or brightly colored shirts and consider reflectiveclothing for nighttime use. A white front headlight and red rearreflector are required on your bike if you ride at night. (A.R.S. 28817). You should also use a red rear taillight.Riding without aheadlight at nightcould get you a fineof up to 197!B I C Y C L I S T S3
Helmet and bicycle mirrors can improve your overall awarenessand allow you to see vehicles behind you. However, all mirrorshave blind spots, so always scan over your shoulder beforechanging your line of travel or before making a left turn.Pima County and City of Tucsonlaws require all bicyclists underthe age of 18 to wear a helmet.According to national studies,85 percent of brain injuriescan be prevented by wearing ahelmet.Protect yourself4B I C Y C L I S T S
Blowing through stop signs setsa bad example for younger ridersand hurts the image ofall bicyclists.Running stop signs on major streets isdangerous and can result ina fine of up to 244 with points added toyour driver’s license. (A.R.S. 28-855B)Arizona traffic law defines a stop as, “complete cessation frommovement.” While bicyclists are required to stop at stop signs,it is not necessary to put your foot on the ground to complywith the law.A Word About Stop SignsB I C Y C L I S T S5
Riding too fast past a line of stopped or moving vehicles can getyou clobbered. When passing a line of vehicles SLOW DOWN ANDBE ALERT, especially near driveway entrances. Motorists often can’tsee past the line of vehicles and won’t know you’re there.Watch for cars turning through gaps6B I C Y C L I S T S
TurningrightORRemember, the laws arethere to make it safer foreveryone.Use hand signals to showyour intentions and ridein a predictable fashion(A.R.S. 28-756).Be polite andbe smartTurningleftSlowingdownB I C Y C L I S T S7
Watch ahead for railroad and streetcar tracks. Look behind you to make sureit’s safe, signal, then cross tracks as close to a right angle as possible (A.R.S.28-815). Also, large cracks or gaps in the roadway can trap your wheels, socross them at a safe angle as well.Cross tracks carefully8B I C Y C L I S T S
NEVER!Ride with the flow of traffic—NEVER ride against traffic on the road, ina bike lane, or on a sidewalk. Drivers turning from the side cannotsee you, and approaching drivers will not expect you to be ridingthe wrong way (A.R.S. 28-721).NEVER!ALWAYS!Never ride against trafficB I C Y C L I S T S9
Remember that you may “take the lane” if the lane is not wide enough forboth a car and bike to safely share (A.R.S. 28-815). Check behind to makesure it’s safe, signal your intentions, and take the lane by riding 1/3 to 1/2 ofthe way into the lane. If you are unable to move leftward due to overtakingvehicles, you may wish to stop in the bike lane or other safe place out oftraffic and then assess when it may be safe to enter the travel lane to getpast the problem area.Watch out for glass, grates, loose gravel,cattle guards, and oily pavement.Take the lane when appropriate10B I C Y C L I S T S
When using the bus/bike lanes, ride near the center of the lane to makeyourself as visible as possible. When approaching an intersection, moveto the left before proceeding through. Bus drivers are required to passcyclists outside of the bus/bike lane.Riding in bus/bike lanesB I C Y C L I S T S11
Be sure to watch for gaps betweenthe grates parallel to your directionof travel. These can cause a seriouscrash. The edge of the cattleguardmay also be higher or lower than theroad surface.Be especially careful if the cattleguard is wet and is in a corner or near astop sign.Watch outfor gaps!Crosscattleguardscarefully12B I C Y C L I S T S
Riding two abreast is permitted by law (A.R.S. 28-815). You can help driverspass on two-lane roadways without bike lanes by riding single-file whensafe to do so (stay at least two to three feet from the edge of the road). It’salways nice to give a friendly wave when drivers pass safely.5 ft.Be cautious when riding two abreastB I C Y C L I S T S13
WATCH FOR THEDOOR ZONEYou could be forced into the streetcar tracks where you could catch yourwheels. Always slow down in congested areas and watch for people sittingin cars who might suddenly exit the car.Motorists in parked vehicles may be unaware that you’re coming up onthem from behind. If they open their door suddenly you could be injured.Where possible,stay at least 5 feetWATCH FOR THE from the side ofDOOR ZONEparked cars.Watch for car doors in the bike lane14B I C Y C L I S T S
On a shared pathway, reduce speeds when approaching pedestrians, givea verbal warning such as “Passing!” or ring a bell when you’re about topass, and provide at least five feet of passing clearance. Remember: Thepedestrian you treat well on the pathway may be the driver who treats youwell when you’re riding on the roadway.5 ft. min.Bicycle bells are a polite way to alertpeople to your presence!Respect pedestriansB I C Y C L I S T S15
21You may make a left turn by going to the far side of theintersection, turning your bike and using the crosswalk. Be veryaware of right-turning cars coming from the cross street.You may wish to slow and wait in advance of the intersectionin order to get a sufficient gap in traffic to make a safe left turn.You may make a left turn like a driver by looking over yourshoulder, signaling and moving into the left turn lane when it’ssafe (A.R.S. 28-815).Two legal ways to turn left16B I C Y C L I S T S

Six ways to make bikecommuting easier!1. Pick the bike that’s right for your ride. Mountainbikes were designed for the dirt and are muchslower than road bikes or hybrids.2. Drive to work on Monday with a week’s worthof clothing. You can fight wrinkles and lightenyour load.3. Use the bike racks on city buses to shorten yourride and give you a bailout on rainy days.4. Got light? You need a bright headlight and atleast one red flasher on the back. You may getstuck at work or school later than you planned.It’s a 197 ticket if you’re caught riding at nightwithout a light.5. Pick a good route. Major streets can be intimidating for newer riders. Try different routes throughneighborhoods and on paths.6. Ride flat free. There are many products to helpyou fight flats, including tire sealant, tire linersand puncture resistant tires.
