LEARN TO RIDE SAFELY IN TRAFFIC

Follow the same rules as you do in a vehicle while biking in Kansas:

  • Ride in the same direction as traffic
  • Maintain visibility with lights and signals
  • Use the full lane when appropriate
  • Follow all applicable bicycle laws

Be predictable—signal your turns, ride in a straight line, and stop at all stop signs and lights. As a safety precaution, we also recommend riding with a helmet.
