1. Cyclist

A cyclist is a person who rides a bicycle for transportation, sport, fitness, or leisure. Cyclists can ride on roads, bike lanes, shared-use paths, or mountain trails. They are considered vulnerable road users and must follow traffic rules to stay safe.

  • Wear a helmet for protection.
  • Follow traffic signals and road signs – Cyclists must obey the same rules as cars.
  • Use bike lanes whenever available.
  • Be visible – Use lights and reflective gear, especially at night.
  • Signal turns and stops using hand signals.
  • Stay alert and avoid distractions (e.g., using a phone while cycling).
