2 Rules of the Road
Cyclists are required to obey the same rules as drivers. Since an adult
cyclist almost always has a driver's license, there is little reason
to go over these rules in detail, as most have actually learned the material,
but it is important to emphasize that bicyclists are required to obey these
rules and that the failure to obey these rules is a major contributing factor
for accidents. In particular, riding the wrong way, ignoring stop signs,
running red lights, and failure to observe right-of-way rules for lane changes
are major contributing factors in those accidents in which cyclists are at fault.
