Top Bicycle Safety Tips For

Riders And Motorists

May in South Florida
is a great time of year to
spend time outside before
the summer heat arrives. This
time of year also brings an
important focus on safety –
Bicycle Safety Month.
Did you know that Florida is home to 14 of the top 20
counties in the United States for the most cyclist deaths
per 100,000 people? These numbers are a sad reality that
highlight the emphasis that needs to be placed on safety for
both cyclists and motorists.
For Cyclists
• Always wear a helmet.
• Ride in a group, motorists are more likely to see a group
of cyclists as opposed to an individual.
• Add reflectors and lights to your bike.
• Wear retroreflective and bright clothing.
For Motorists
• Be aware of your surroundings and on the lookout for
cyclists.
• Slow down – high speeds increase the likelihood of
serious injury or death.
