Share the road is a clear and straightforward sign, yet, some people manage to ignore the facts of what it means, or they never learned the basics of sharing at all; that’s why all cyclists experience rage from drivers at so many levels. Any driver honking the horn for no reason, yelling, driving too close, cursing, or trying to roll over cyclists, makes it clear that they don’t want to share the road, and these drivers can ruin the fun for everyone.
Before you get a license, you’re supposed to take a written test and be able to pass it. I’ve noticed too many people driving with little knowledge of what traffic and hand signs mean, and how traffic law work. As drivers, we need to be responsible, careful, and attentive with the surroundings. Cyclists aren’t items for anyone to touch, grab, or attack without facing the consequences, so be careful.
If you’re new to road cycling, visit your local DMV website. Traffic laws and cycling rights may vary depending on geographic location. But, you should know how to behave at traffic stops, crossings, and traffic lights. Usually, by law, drivers should not be driving less than three feet away from cyclists, and no one should obstruct bike lanes on purpose unless it’s a public utility vehicle on duty. Cyclists should always use a helmet, reflectors, and lights at night when on the road for safety precautions. Ride in the direction of traffic; it can be illegal to do otherwise.
Cyclists have as much right as drivers to use the road. Knowledge is your best ally when accidents happen. Learn the facts, and know your rights so you can have a more safe and pleasant bike ride.
