Lower that number by following some rules on how to stay safe while biking on the road. Step 1: Put on your helmet and glove Put on your helmet and gloves. Always wear them when riding a bike. Step 2: Ride with the flow of traffic Remember always to ride with the flow of traffic, not against it. Step 3: Stay to the right of the lane Stay to the far right of the lane you’re using. You don’t have to ride in the gutter, but cars should be able to pass you on your left. Step 4: Don’t ride on sidewalks Don’t ride on sidewalks. It can surprise pedestrians, and in many places, cycling on the sidewalk is against the law. Tip Unless posted otherwise, cyclists have a legal right to the road, just like any car. However, many drivers don’t know this. Try not to yell back at them. Step 5: Use hand signals for turns and stops Use hand signals to indicate turns and stops. Step 6: Obey the rules of the road Obey all traffic signs, signals, and laws just like any car would. Step 7: Stop completely at red lights and stop signs At stop signs and red lights, come to a complete stop so that you have to put your foot on the ground to keep you upright. Step 8: Choose routes that feature bike lanes Choose routes that feature dedicated bike lanes. Step 9: Wear bright clothing and sunglasses Wear bright clothing to stand out and sunglasses to protect your eyes from bugs, debris and the sun. Step 10: Keep your tires inflated Keep your tires properly inflated. An inflated tire is less likely to go flat. And a flat tire can ruin your day. Step 11: Use lights when riding at night If you’re riding at night, mount a light on the back of your bike and a headlight on your handlebars. Did You Know? Thirty-six states, plus the District of Columbia, have mandatory helmet laws.

My mummy told me to cycle on the sidewalk but I am the winner.
-
I see many people still cycling on the sidewalk, which is far too dangerous.
-
Is it legal to pass traffic jams when there isn't a bicycle lane?
-
My opinion on this.
Do not bike ride in the street its far too dangerous. Your not protected at all when you bike ride as you are not strapped in. Most drivers do not yield to bike riders and lots of times drivers just can"t see the bike rider. A bike rider who gets hit by a car most likely will get hurt. Just too much risk involved.
Bike ride in the sidewalk only. make sure where you live the sidewalks are not full of pedestrians and the cities around where you live allow sidewalk biking. if not just bike on bike trails in the park or do not bike ride at all. -
Can minors ride in the road too

The guy in this video was seriously freaking me out, like what the actual ...
-
Thousands more people die in cars from head injuries. Why not tell them to wear helmets so they can look like fools too?

Correction; This entire video. You are legally able to use the full road unless specific traffic signage instructs cyclists to do otherwise, you don't need a helmet unless your skull is weak, people ride just fine on utilitarian cycling without one, bike gloves are not needed, most people do not use them, and cyclists can go against the flow of traffic in a contra flow bike lane or cycle track.

Only idiots ride bikes on busy roads.

To get to my internship I must bike 13 miles down a bike trail then bike 5 miles down a straight road with no side shoulders. I think since it's to a school I will be okay. Thanks for the info, I needed a refresher on where to stay on the road
