Obey all traffic laws, including stopping for red lights and stop signs
Ride with traffic, do not pass automobiles in your lane on the right
Keep your eyes and mind on the road, do not be a distracted bicyclist
Wear a properly fitting helmet, even on the shortest of rides
Do not ride on sidewalks (Under City of Columbus Code, only young children are permitted to ride on sidewalks)
Keep your bike in working order
Use proper hand signals prior to turning or slowing to stop
Ride single file or no more than two abreast
Ride predictably
Be visible: Wear bright clothing, use a bicycle headlight and a tail light at night and in rain or other inclement weather
Remember, bicyclists by law belong on the road and have the same right-of-way rights as motorists
Keep your eyes and mind on the road, do not be a distracted motorist
Pass with care, allowing at least three feet between you and the bicyclist
When making a left turn, yield to oncoming bikes
Before making a right turn, check over your right shoulder for bicycles approaching to your right
Remember: By law, bicyclists may move to the center of the lane to avoid road hazards or due to the narrowness of the lane. Bicyclists may change lanes when making a left turn, passing parked vehicles or slower moving vehicles and moving left out of a right turn-only lane to proceed straight through an intersection.
Look for approaching bicyclists before opening you car doors
Don’t blast your horn when approaching bicyclists
Wait to pass if there is oncoming traffic or your view of oncoming traffic is obstructed
When pulling out of a driveway, watch for and yield to bicyclists as you would with any approaching automobile
