Top Rider Safety Tips
Always wear a helmet: Ensure it fits snugly and is worn level on the forehead.
Follow traffic laws: Ride in the same direction as traffic, stop at red lights and stop signs, and use hand signals.
Be visible: Use headlights and rear reflectors, wear high-visibility gear, and assume drivers cannot see you.
Stay focused: Avoid distractions like texting or wearing headphones.

Motorist Reminders
Slow down: Give cyclists a wide berth; many states, including California, mandate at least 3 feet of passing distance.
Check for bikes: Look over your shoulder for cyclists before turning right or opening your car door.
Avoid distractions: Stay off your phone and remain alert in high-traffic or school zones.

Every rider ahead is a family member, a partner, a child. A few extra feet and seconds can mean the difference between safety and tragedy. Slow down, give space, choose patience—let’s arrive safely together.
