Bicycle Safety
In the State of Oregon, a person riding a bicycle has
the same rights and responsibilities as a person
driving a car.
Try to apply the concept in the following quote when
riding your bike on or off campus:
Cyclists fare best when they act and are treated as
drivers of vehicles. -John Forester
When cyclists do not act as drivers of vehicles, here
are some common behaviors - don't let this be you - you
are putting yourself and others at risk of injury or
death!
- Disregard traffic signals (lights & stop
signs)
- Ride against the flow of traffic
- Turn left from the far right hand side of the
road
- Not use lights at night
The fine for riding through a STOP sign or RED light on
a bike is $115 - the same as in a car.
