Just a recap for bikers and drivers as well, in the US at least, bicyclists are subject to all of the same rules of the road as car drivers. For example:

1. Bicyclists must stop at stop signs, lights, and four way stops.

2.Bicyclists must ride in the direction of traffic, to the right side of the road. When biking, allow about 3 feet from parked cars to avoid being surprised if someone suddenly opens a car door.

3. When making left turns, bicyclists should either signal a left turn and get in the left hand turn lane or stop at the crosswalk and walk across.

4. Passing on the right is still illegal, unless you’re in a bike lane.

5. Watch for pedestrians and give them the right of way. The last thing the biking community wants is to anger pedestrians.

6. Common sense says: wear bright clothes with a headlight and at least one tail light. Reflective biking jackets make you safer and keep you warm as well as ventilated. You can even get super-strong headlights that rival car headlights, which I’ve found very helpful, for about $100-$200.
