Bicycle Safety Tips For Motorists

Biking is a form of mass transportation in the metro Atlanta area. Similar to pedestrians, bicyclists are very vulnerable on the road. If a bicyclist is involved in a collision with a car or truck, the cyclist is likely to end up with serious injuries. Motorists should:

• Slow down and obey the posted speed limit.
• Yield to cyclists when turning.
• Appreciate bicyclist vulnerability
• Know bicyclists’ rights.
• Look before opening their door.
• Be careful when passing stopped vehicles.
• Allow three feet when passing bicyclists.

If you were riding a bicycle and were involved in an accident with a motor vehicle, please contact us immediately.
