Bicycle Safety
 

 

Massachusetts Law Chapter 85 Section 11B requires "any person sixteen years of age or younger operating a bicycle or being carried as a passenger on a bicycle on a public way, bicycle path or on any other public right-of-way shall wear a helmet."
Always ride on the right with the flow of traffic.  If traveling in a group ride in a single file.  Use hand signals to let people know if you plan to stop or turn.  Above all, obey all traffic laws and regulations.  Keep yourself and those you share the roadways with safe.
If you ride a bicycle at night be sure you are visible.  Your bike can have as many lights and reflective devices as you wish.  Remember the roads on the Cape are not well lighted at night, wear light colored clothing.  If your bicycle does not have reflectors on the pedals, you must wear reflectors on both ankles at night.
