Every person riding a bicycle should ride defensively. Given how often a bike crash occurs in our area, you must do what you can to avoid a tragic accident.

• Take cycling seriously. Keep your bike in good repair, and wear a helmet every time you ride.
• Ride predictably. Follow traffic rules. Signal when you are turning. Moreover, avoid weaving in and out of traffic or between parked cars.
• Be Visible. Motorists might not see you. So, make yourself visible by wearing bright, reflective clothing, using a headlight and tail light, and riding where motorists are expecting to see traffic.
• Stop and Look. Before you turn onto a street or sidewalk from a driveway or another roadway where visibility is low, stop your bike.
• Ride with Traffic. In other words, stay on your right-hand side. In Florida, riding against traffic flow violates our traffic code.
• Three Feet Rule. Ride at least three feet from parked cars. You never know when someone will open their door in your path.

These are basic safety tips which just may help you avoid a tragic bike crash. Accordingly, if you already practice this safety, then great. However, if you don’t then live by them when you ride.
