Dress appropriately for what may be cold
or wet weather. Layer up, bring gloves and carry a pack of some sort.

League of American Bicyclists Rules of the Road
The League's six Rules
of the Road will prepare you for a safe and fun bike ride no matter where you
are riding.
1. Follow the Law: Your safety and the image of bicyclists
depend on you. You have the same rights and duties as drivers. Obey traffic
signals and stop signs. Ride with traffic; use the rightmost lane headed in the
direction you are going.
2. Be Predictable: Make your intentions clear to
motorists and other road users. Ride in a straight line and don't swerve
between parked cars. Signal turns, and check behind you well before turning or
changing lanes.
3. Be Conspicuous: Ride where drivers can see you; wear bright
clothing. Use a front white light and red rear light and reflectors at night or
when visibility is poor. Make eye contact with drivers. Don't ride on
sidewalks.
4. Think Ahead: Anticipate what drivers, pedestrians, and
other bicyclists will do next. Watch for turning vehicles and ride outside the
door zone of parked cars. Look out for debris, potholes, and utility covers.
Cross railroad tracks at right angles.
5. Ride Ready: Check your tires
have sufficient air, brakes are working, chain runs smoothly, and quick release
wheel levers are closed. Carry repair and emergency supplies appropriate for
your ride. Wear a helmet.
6. Keep Your Cool: Road rage benefits no-one and
always makes a bad situation worse.
