8 FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | NOVEMBER 2014 | COMMUNITY NEWS Manager's Update By Jeri Mupo, General Manager BICYCLE SAFETY Each year in California, more than 100 people are killed and hundreds of thousands more are injured in bicycle collisions. Some bicycle related crashes are connected to the bicyclist's behavior, while others are due to the motorist's lack of attention. Bicycle riders on public roads have the same rights and responsibilities as motorists and are subject to the same rules and regulations. Refer to the California Driver Handbook to become familiar with these rules. Motorists must look carefully for bicyclists before turning left or right, merging into bicycle lanes and opening doors next to moving traffic. Respect the right-of-way of bicyclists because they are entitled to share the road with you. Four Basic Safety Tips 1. Maintain control of your bicycle. 2. Protect yourself. Reduce the risk of head injury by always wearing a helmet. 3. Be visible, alert, and communicate your intentions. 4. Ride with traffic. Happy cycling.
