Cyclists are sons, daughters, mothers, fathers, [and grandparents]. By showing common courtesy and respect on the road, we can ensure the two-way street is a safe street for all. 

• Remember, in Ohio, bicycles are considered vehicles and have the same rights and responsibilities as motorists, including the right to ride in traffic lanes. It’s illegal for bicyclists to ride against traffic or on sidewalks.

• Abide by Ohio’s 3-foot passing law, which mandates motorists maintain at least 3 feet clearance when passing a bicycle traveling along the road in the same direction.

• Never honk at bicyclists. They may startle and swerve off the road or into traffic.

• Bicyclists should be visible and predictable. Wear reflective clothing at night and always ride where drivers can see you. Don’t swerve between parked cars.

• Wear a helmet when riding a bicycle. Properly fitted helmets are an essential safeguard against brain injuries, the most common cause of bicycle-related fatalities.

• Always remain alert and avoid distractions, whether on a bike or in a car.

If a bicycle-related crash does occur, remember that it’s illegal to flee the scene. One AAA Foundation report found that hit-and-run crash deaths are on the rise, and most (65 percent) of the victims of these fatal hit-and-run crashes are pedestrians or bicyclists. Motorists involved in a bicycle-related crash should remain on the scene, assist the injured and call 911.  (Courtesy of aaa.com)
