Obey to all the rules of the road.
Riding a bike is like driving a car.
Ride defensively, but decisively.
Make it easy for a driver to anticipate what you are going to do, so that he/she can act accordingly. Ride in a straight line and in single file, unless you are overtaking.
Indicate your intentions by using hand signals:
Do not ride in the gutter.
Be aware of drivers of parked cars suddenly opening a car door.
Ride wide and take the lane if it is not safe for a car to pass you.
Watch for glass on the road, cat-eyes, drain covers, oil, sand, etc., which can often be found in the far left of the gutter.
Do not use an iPod or phone while riding!
You need to be able to hear approaching traffic or other cyclists who may be warning you about a problem.
Wear a helmet.
Wear gloves.
It improves grip on the handlebars and may save some skin should you get into contact with the road.
Wear bright or reflective clothing.
