Stay in your lane - literally

 

Bike lanes exist for a reason—to keep you safe! If you see one, use it. These lanes give you a dedicated space, separate from cars, making your ride smoother and lowering the risk of accidents.

 

But what if there’s no bike lane? No worries! Just ride as far to the right as is safe—without hugging the curb. Staying too close to the edge can be risky, especially with potholes, parked cars, or debris in your way.” 

 

Stay aware of your surroundings, keep a safe distance from parked cars to avoid getting ‘doored,’ and always make yourself visible to drivers.

 

Bike lanes make cycling safer, but even without them, smart riding keeps you protected. Stay alert, stay safe, and enjoy the ride!
