It’s important for both cyclists and motorists to know the rules of the road when it comes to sharing the roads.

Ohio Law requires motorists to have at least 3 feet of clearance when passing bicycles on the road.   On busy and narrow roads the 3-foot rule can be hard to follow.  The best approach is to be patient and wait until oncoming traffic clears before passing on rural roads.  City biking and drivers present a whole new set of opportunities.  Both sides need to mind the rules to keep everybody safe.

The local bike trails and paths offer safe(er) places to ride.
