#11 Bicycling in the street

One of many features of bicycling is commuting. You can reach many places and exercise in the same time. However that is not the case in some streets. Many motorist are unaware of bicyclist right to use the streets as well as them while some ignore their right and put them in danger. 

There many education programs designed for both bicycles and motors on how to use and share streets in a safe manner. Using your hand to indicate where you want to turn and wearing a helmet is vital. In addition to that, your bicycle must be equipped with light refelectror to show that you are in the street. Keeping the distance of three feet between a bicyclist and a vehicle is one of these roles. Its your responsibility as well as the motorist to bare in mind that and not ignore it.

For those who are afraid of using their bicycles in street there are other option available. Some street has either a lane for bicyclist to use. That will reduce the risk of sharing street with a car. 

In the end if you couldn't use your bicycle in the street, the best way is to use the side walk.
