BIKE SAFETY During the COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve seen a big decrease in the number of drivers on the road, which makes it more appealing to go bicycling. However, even with fewer drivers, it’s still very important to follow safe cycling guidelines.
acknowledge your presence. Then proceed with caution.
FOR DRIVERS Safety is a two-way street. When driving, keep in mind that you are sharing the road with bicyclists and pedestrians who are more vulnerable to injury. If you’re driving, give cyclists plenty of space. As of 2013, California requires motor vehicles to maintain a distance of 3 feet of clearance when passing a cyclist. If you’ve parked your car, always check your rearview and side mirrors to ensure cyclists aren’t approaching before you slowly open your door. FOR CYCLISTS If you are riding a bike, always wear a helmet, use reflectors and lights, and wear bright colors so you are visible. If you are crossing a street or intersection on a bike, never assume a driver sees you. Make eye contact and ensure they
In Santa Barbara, it’s illegal to ride a bicycle on the sidewalk. Cyclists must stay on the roads or in lanes specifically marked for bicycle use. Cyclists must obey all vehicle laws, including signs, signals, and road markings. This includes coming to a complete stop at stop signs and using hand signals before turning. Unfortunately, even when you are following the law and taking all precautions as a cyclist, you can still be injured due to the negligence of the driver of a vehicle. If you’ve been injured while cycling, we are here for you. Don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions you may have.
Every year, cyclists are severely injured when drivers hit them. We’ve seen it happen too many times to our clients — the driver of a car doesn’t give them enough space or opens their car door at the very moment a cyclist is riding by. It’s easy to make assumptions about what another person does or does not see, but when that happens between a motor vehicle and a cyclist, it can have serious consequences. With many people out riding their bikes, we can all take precautions to keep one another safe.
