Reminder of Good Bike Riding Habits
|
|
Coming
directly from the Oregon Bicyclist Manual, here
are the 4 basic principles of bicycling: |
| 1. |
Maintain control of your bicycle.
(be careful of objects on and along the roadside such as debris,
rocks, mailboxes, or parked vehicles.) |
| 2. |
Ride on the right, with traffic, in a predictable
manner. |
| 3. |
Be visible and ride alertly. |
4. |
Protect yourself (Always wear a helmet) All
riders under 16 years of age must, by law, wear an approved
bicycle helmet when riding on a public way. |
