every ride, and use lights at night.
Conduct an ABC Quick Check

Obey all traffic laws: ride with
traffic, on the right, with slowest
traffic farthest right
Ride predictably and be visible at
all times
At intersections, ride in the right-
most lane that goes in your
direction of travel
Scan for traffic, and signal lane
changes and turns
Be prepared for mechanical
emergencies with tools and know-
how
Control your bike by practicing
your bicycle handling skills
Drink before you are thirsty, and
eat before you get hungry
