Not to sound like a broken record, but safety is no accident. The fact is, bicycle injuries are increasing. This could be due to a myriad of reasons such as increased bicycle use, no bike lanes on busy roads, or distracted driving/riding by motorists and cyclists alike. Many people don’t realize that bikes must obey the same rules of the road that motorists do, because they they are entitled to the same use of the road. The link below will take you to the D.O.T.’s current rules of the road for cyclists and motorists. Be safe out there!
