Bicycle Safety

For Cyclists

Fit

1.    Can you reach your bike’s handlebars and saddle? Can you fit two fingers underneath your helmet’s strap? Check for the right fit before you get rolling! ✌️🚴 

2.    You wouldn’t wear the wrong shoe size. Make sure your bike and helmet fit, too! 

3.    The right size matters, especially when it comes to your gear! Check your helmet and bike before you get going. 🚵 

Numbers

1.    There’s safety in numbers, especially for bicyclists. Get your friends together and go for a ride!

2.    This is your sign to organize a bike ride with your friends. It’s safer to go with a group! 🤝 

3.    Going for a bike ride with your friends isn’t just safer, it’s also more fun! 🚵‍♀️🚵🚵‍♂️ 

Helmets

1.    Helmets are cool, especially when they save your life. 🚵 

2.    It’s time for a bike ride! Buckle your helmet and get rolling. 

3.    Avoiding helmet hair isn’t worth the risk. 🚴 

For Drivers

Slow Down

1.    Bicyclists around? Take it slow! 🚘✋🚲 

2.    Slow down for bicycles. Faster speeds stack up to more fatalities. 

3.    Take it slow when you see a bicyclist on the road. It could save a life. 

Yield

1.    Share the road by yielding to bicyclists! 🚲 

2.    Let’s keep our roads safe. Do your part by yielding to cyclists! 🚴 

3.    Yield to cyclists as you would other cars. It’s everyone’s responsibility to share the road safely!

Passing

1.    Passing too closely is a recipe for disaster. If you see a bicyclist, keep your distance! 

2.    It’s okay to pass bicyclists when they can’t pedal as fast as your car. Just make sure you give them plenty of space. 

3.    Passing a bicycle on the road? Give them room to roll! 🚲↔️🚗
