We urge the cyclists to "go first" by pledging to adhere to the following "Code of Conduct."
1. I will obey all vehicular traffic laws. I will stop at all stop signs and red lights. I will signal all my turns. I
will make lane changes correctly. I will use front and rear lights when riding at night. I will not ride on
sidewalks..
2. When cycling with others, I will proactively ride single-file if necessary to accommodate
motorists. I will endeavor to create sub-groups and/or to dynamically create gaps in cycling
groups when needed to provide motorists a way to pass safely.
3. I will ride as far to the right of the road as can be safely practiced.
4. I will not advance my position in a line of motorists stopped in a lane unless a bicycle lane
is available to me for doing so.
5. I will be alert to opportunities to provide courteous communications with motorists that
promote safety in sharing the road, such as the “wave-around” gesture. Conversely, I
will never make discourteous communications with motorists.
6. I will be attentive to all vehicular traffic around me. I will not use headphones or a cell
phone while cycling.
7. I will wear a helmet at all times when cycling.
8. I will ride defensively for my own safety, but I will also ride with the expectation that
motorists, too, will operate their vehicles in accordance with the law.
9. I will encourage others to follow this Code.
