Riding by the same set of rules as motorists makes you predictable and reduces your risk of having an accident. If you follow a few simple rules, you will not be com- promising your safety. 1) Always check your bicycle for size. If you can stand above the horizontal cross-bar with both feet flat on the ground, your bicycle seat at hip level, the fit is right. 2) You must have a white front light and a red light or reflector if you ride your bike half an hour before sunset until half an hour after sunrise.
