Safety tips from the Minnesota Department of Transportation:
Follow the law – obey all traffic signs and signals.
Ride in the same direction as traffic.
Be predictable – maintain a straight course.
Communicate your intent – look, yield to traffic and signal before turning or changing lanes.
Use extreme caution near commercial vehicles
Pass only on the left.
See and be seen – wear bright colors, reflective gear and use head and tail lights.
Wear a helmet.
Stick to roads and trails – sidewalk riding puts you at risk for crashes at driveways and intersections.
Always yield to pedestrians.
Avoid distracted bicycling – put away mobile devices and headphones.
