Explanation
Bicyclists have the same rights as drivers of motor vehicles, including the right to ride in the same direction as traffic. Unfortunately, they are often hard to see in traffic because they are small and can easily be hidden in a vehicle's blind spot. To ensure the safety of bicyclists, it is important to always make a visual check when changing lanes or entering traffic. This includes checking your blind spots before making a turn, parallel parking, opening a door, or leaving a curb. Remember that bicyclists have the right to share the road, and you must yield the right-of-way to them just as you would to another vehicle.
