Bicycle Safety Rules

For those south of the East KY 31W. I want to ride my bike in town for the races to save energy and reduce my carbon footprint. Highway 31W has a speed limit of 55, and people usually go about 60-65. He has wide emergency lanes and cycling is legal on the road.

I love what you do. Drivers seem to hate sharing the road with cyclists and some will do whatever they can to know. So: stay as far from traffic as possible, a person walking in front of the other (never side by side), the pedal in the sense of movement and for Pete's sake, wear a helmet.

Use your hand signals all the time.
Right Arm: turn left.
arms folded in his hand pointing up, turn right.
arms folded in his hand pointed down: Stop.

u would be dome to try that I suggest you do because u can get hit by a car and when I see on the news I will laugh at you all day long thats if ur not wrong

Here are some tips
1. Helmets

5. Watch out for cars
6. Make sure your bike is equipped with brakes
7. Beware of animals and road kill

I do not live in Kentucky, but the roads by me are 55 mph anyway. I never cycle on them. People go on the road all the time when changing radio stations, smoking, talking on the phone, or simply not paying attention.

In this connection, why, why do people have to ride there bikes in the hallways of car?
Not only does it seems dangerous, it makes me nervous, and, of course, it is impossible to make the speed limit.
You're not a car, people.
Leave the road!

Now, to answer your question, I do not think there is a perfectly safe. I think that by using hand signals, wearing bright colors and of course a helmet would suffice.

Helmet, pads, etc.

Cycling is not so difficult to climb veichle engine.
because veichles engine can go to very high speeds, but cycling is not much different speed.
therules are so simple! Always keep riding on your left if your country is to have roads r for wheel.if hand steering right not stick to your right and give way to speeding .. veichles!

In Illinois, the rules of the road are almost the same for bikes and cars. This is probably the same in Kentucky, but worth checking with your state DOT to be sure.

In addition to the common sense stuff, like wearing a helmet, increase your visibility, ride all the way to the right, etc., I have one more piece of practical advice to add. Unless there are no cars coming from behind, it is safer to take every exit ramp, then back on the highway using the corresponding on-ramp. Nothing would suck more than being t-boned by some jack-a-do ** off the highway at 70 mph while trying to cross the exit ramp. Do not rely on motorists using their signals or even see you. I sometimes use a hybrid approach of this method: I will begin taking the exit ramp and if I am absolutely sure that cars are not approaching me t-bone, then I cross back over the shoulder and continue on Highway my merry way. This way, you do not lose your momentum at the bottom of the ramp.

I HATE riding on roads like this (I'm from Indy) - I am not getting on 31. Are there parallel alleys, you can use? - As it is in Indy. I always suggest to have a support vehicle. But there were two policemen killed in a trip to southern Indiana last year in this way. Try to avoid roads 55 km / h at any price. If you must: 1) go as fast as you can - to reduce the speed of differentiation.
