Bicycles are considered vehicles according to most state and city laws – this means you have a right to the road. It also means you must obey all traffic laws. Use your hand signals to communicate where you are going. Use lights at night – white in front and red in back. Bright clothing and reflectors are recommended.

Some examples are parked cars, potholes, opening car doors, dogs, and railroad tracks. You can avoid hazards by looking ahead and to the sides to anticipate approaching hazards. Riding over and around hazards may require looking back for cars and a change of lane position. To safely cross railroad tracks, ride over them at a 90-degree angle, which prevents your wheels from getting trapped between the track and the road.
