Bike Safety Tips:

1. Wear a helmet.
2. Obey traffic laws and ride in the direction of traffic, on the right hand side, if you are riding in the street vs. a trail.
3. Be predictable– signal, ride in a steady, straight line as much as possible
4. Be visible– make sure your bicycle has reflectors, and lights are required for night riding in Pennsylvania.
5. Stay alert to road surface and traffic conditions.  Hazards include: train tracks, storm grates, glass and gravel, potholes, open car doors, and turning vehicles, among numerous others. 
6. Make sure your bicycle is in good working order.  See the League of American Bicyclists for details on how to check your bike before a ride.
