Bicycle commuting is becoming more and more common in the Bay Area, and we want to give some tips on how to stay safe while riding. Many collisions are preventable by just following some simple steps. Avoid or minimize sidewalk riding. Cars don’t expect to see moving traffic on a sidewalk and don’t look for you when backing out of a driveway or turning. Sidewalks sometimes end unexpectedly, forcing the bicyclist into a road when a car isn’t expecting to look for a bicyclist. ...If you must ride on the sidewalk remember to: -Check your law to make sure sidewalk riding is legal; Watch for pedestrians; -Pass pedestrians with care by first announcing on your left or passing on your left or use a bell -Ride in the same direction as traffic. This way, if the sidewalk ends, you are already riding with the flow of traffic. If crossing a street, motorists will look left, right, left for traffic. When you are to the driver’s left, the driver is more likely to see you -Slow and look for traffic (left-right-left and behind) when crossing a street from a sidewalk; be prepared to stop and follow the pedestrian signals -Slow down and look for cars backing out of driveways or turning!
