Ride Defensively Avoid riding in the blind spots of motor vehicle drivers. Be sure the automobile driver has seen you before making a maneuver that puts you in conflict with the automobile. Watch for cars turning suddenly at driveways and intersections. Other hazards to look for are opening car doors, loose gravel, and rough pavement. When the road is wet, everything is slippery. Cross angled railroad tracks carefully to maintain control of your bicycle. Pedestrians and roller skaters popping out from between parked cars can also be a hazard. At intersections, be prepared for cars turning across your path. If in doubt, merge into the automobile lane to travel through the intersection.
Wear a Helmet Head injuries are often severe and debilitating. A safety approved bicycle helmet can protect you from head injuries. Youth under the age of 16 are required to wear a helmet by state law.

Position Yourself Correctly at Intersections If you are turning, signal appropriately, watch for cars, and merge carefully to the center of the turn lane. Make your turn occupying the same space an automobile would. If you are not turning, follow the bike lane and watch for cars that may be crossing the bike lane.

Be Visible Wear bright and reflective clothing. Oregon law requires the use of lights when riding after dark. You must have a white light visible at least 500 ft to the front and a red reflector or light on the rear.

Be Predictable Obey traffic signs and signals. Motorists need to know what you are planning to do, even when you are in a bike lane. Signal well in advance if you intend to turn or merge into another lane.

Ride With The Traffic Riding against the traffic places the bicyclist in a location at intersections that may be overlooked by motorists watching for the normal flow of oncoming traffic. Riding the wrong direction endangers other riders and is unpredictable for motorists. Riding the wrong direction in bike lanes is a violation and leading cause of bicycle crashes.

The Corvallis Transit System has bike racks mounted on the front of each bus and each rack holds two bikes. Use of the racks is on a “first-come, first served” basis. Bicycle riders are responsible for loading and unloading their bikes. A “Rack and Roll” brochure describing how to use the racks is available at City Hall, the Library, on the buses, at local bike shops, and at www.corvallistransit.com. The Philomath Connection and Linn-Benton Loop buses also have bicycle racks.

The compact size of the city (14 sq miles) combined with its excellent bicycle system, relatively flat terrain, allow almost any trip to be made by bicycle in about 15 minutes. The bicycle is a healthy, non-polluting alternative to the automobile that helps maintain the quality of the environment in Corvallis.
