Tips For Riding
Ride at your comfort level and speed.
There is no speed requirements in bike lanes, if you want to take it slow and enjoy your ride. If you find yourself in an uncomfortable circumstance or section of your route, don’t be afraid to go onto the sidewalk. If you ride on the sidewalk, remember that you must yield to pedestrians, but this is a great way to help yourself get comfortable riding.
Ride with others.
In biking, there is safety in numbers. When there are more people biking, drivers are more likely to take notice and provide more space. This also gives you someone to practice with as you start to feel more comfortable biking on your own.
Practice with short rides.
You don’t have to immediately start biking to work every day. Instead, try biking to your friend’s house or the pharmacy. Short bike trips are a great way to save a little time, while getting your body active. These trips are often familiar ones where you are more likely to feel comfortable along the bike route as you adjust to being around cars.
