Bike Law
 |
Obey
Traffic Signs and Signals: As
vehicles, bicycles must obey all NYC
Traffic Rules. Cyclists have the same
rights, privileges and duties as other
vehicular traffic. |
 |
Never
Ride Against Traffic: Motorists
and pedestrians are not looking for
bicyclists riding against traffic. It
is illegal and dangerous. Ride with
traffic to avoid accidents. |
 |
Stay
Off Sidewalks: Bikes are not
permitted on sidewalks unless bike wheels
are less than 26 inches in diameter
and the rider is 12 years or younger,
or signs allow. |
 |
Be
Visible: Ensure your visibility
at night by wearing light-toned clothing
with reflective tape material. Outfit
your bike with lights as you would for
riding on the roads. |
