Quiz Answer 1

Where is the safest place for bicyclists to ride?

A. On the sidewalk against traffic

B. On the sidewalk with traffic

C. On the road against traffic

D. On the road with traffic


Correct!

Other vehicles and pedestrians expect fast moving traffic to be in the road, not on the sidewalk.  Research conducted on traffic accidents has demonstrated that riding on the street is more than 20 times safer than riding on the sidewalk.  Riding against traffic is always dangerous, on the street or the sidewalk. Twenty percent of all car-bike collisions result from cyclists going the wrong way.
