## Bicyclists and in-line skaters must: 

• Ride in a bicycle lane, if available. Where there is none, they must remain near the right curb or edge of the road or on a right shoulder of the road, to prevent interference with other traffic. When they prepare for a left turn or must move left to avoid hazards, cyclists do not have to remain to the right. 

• Come to a full stop before they enter a road- way from a driveway, an alley or over a curb. 

• Never travel with more than two side-by-side in a single lane. 

• Never ride on a sidewalk if it is prohibited by local laws. 

Bicyclists and their passengers and in-line skat- ers, ages 1 through 13, must wear an approved helmet. Adults must obey any local laws or regula- tions about helmet use. 

## Bicyclists also must: 

• Signal turns, lane changes and stops through the use of the hand signals shown. A bicyclist can signal a right turn when they extend the right arm straight out to the right. Never carry an infant under a year old as a passenger. It is against the law. Child passengers ages 1 - 4 must ride in attached bicycle safety seats. 

• Never carry a passenger unless the bicycle has a passenger seat. 

• Keep at least one hand on the handlebars at all times and do not carry any item which prevents correct control of the bicycle. 

• Any bicycle crash that causes death or seri- ous injury must be reported to DMV within 10 days of the incident. Bicycle accident report forms (MV-104C) are available at any motor vehicle office. 

A bicycle driven on public highways must have adequate brakes and a horn or bell that can be heard at least 100 feet (30 m) away. A bicycle used at night must have a headlight visible from at least 500 feet (150 m) ahead and a red taillight visible from at least 300 feet (90 m) behind. One of these lights must be visible from at least 200 feet (60 m) away on each side. A bicycle sold by a dealer must have wide-angle, spoke-mounted reflectors or reflective tires, a wide-angle rear reflector and pedal reflectors.
