Rules of the Road & Safety Tips

Cycling is a wonderful way to see all that California has to offer, while raising awareness for and supporting a great cause. Please be mindful of these safety tips as you are out on the road. All are important parts in ensuring your safety and the safety of those you will be sharing the road with.

The Rules of the Road

• Follow all rules and laws of the road.
• Ride single file, especially on narrow shoulders or when cars are close.
• Stop at Stop Signs.
• Pass only on the left. Be sure to let the rider being over taken know (politely) you are passing on the left by saying "on your left!"
• As this is a fun ride, not a competitive race, please don't take any chances riding too aggressively just to shave a few seconds off ride time.
• Wear your helmet when you are on your bike. No exceptions.
• No headphones, please. You need to hear other cyclists, pedestrians, and vehicles.
• Signal to following riders about debris and obstacles on the road.
• Hydrate! Hydrate! Hydrate! Drink water before you feel thirsty and keep yourself hydrated!
