Re: Bicycle Law

Thank you for your posting.

Bicycles are subject to the same rules of the road as vehicles, meaning you must keep with the flow of traffic, and cannot ride opposite to traffic, either with or without a bike lane.

I hope that this information helps, but if you have other questions, need more information, or feel that you need legal representation, please feel free to contact me via email directly at [email protected]. I�m happy to help in any way that I can.
