Stay Safe While Bicycling In California
Cycling is becoming more and more popular every year. Here in California, with our pleasant temperatures all year long, biking is an excellent way to get around town and get some exercise. It is better for both your wallet and the environment. Unfortunately, as the number of bicycle riders increases, so does the number of bicycle accidents.
The California Department of Public Health reports that bicycle injury rates increased by 21 percent between 2007 and 2013. Then, between 2020 and 2021, according to the Safe Transportation and Research Center (SafeTREC), bicycle injury rates increased by 8.8 percent in California. These numbers show that more people are switching over to this eco-friendly mode of transportation. Riders need to know how to be safe before, during, and after their rides. Get into the habit of bicycle safety to reduce your risk of injury.

What You Need To Know About Bicycle Safety
In this guide, we will discuss bike safety rules and bicycle safety tips. By preparing for a safe ride every time, you can significantly reduce your risk of being injured on the road.
What Is Bicycle Safety?
Bicycle safety describes practices and strategies used to minimize risks while cycling on California roads and designated paths. The term involves a combination of responsible behavior, the use of proper equipment, and adherence to traffic laws.
We have personal injury attorneys at Arash Law who are avid bicycle enthusiasts, and they all advocate for many bike safety programs in the state. California has a strong focus on cyclist safety through education and awareness campaigns. One example is the 2023 campaign launched by the Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) and Caltrans, “Safety is Sharing. Safety is Caring.” These campaigns demonstrate the state’s commitment to fostering a culture of shared responsibility on the roads.
What Are The Safety Guidelines For A Cyclist?
Cycling is a great way to get around, stay fit, and enjoy the outdoors. Before you hit the pavement, safety should be your top consideration. By following this bicycle safety checklist, you can minimize risks and maximize your enjoyment on every ride.
Step 1: Make Sure You Have A Safe Bike
Safe bike riding starts with reliable equipment. Follow these steps to ensure your bike is ready for a safe ride:
Choose The Appropriate Size
An improperly sized bike can be more challenging to maneuver and control. This makes the rider more prone to accidents. Cycling Today recommends the following measurements to determine the right size for a bike:
- The top tube (“crossover”) of a bike should be 2.5 to 5 centimeters higher than your inseam. This is known as the bike’s “standover height.” The right standover height measurement ensures you can comfortably mount, dismount, and maneuver your bike.
- The top tube length also determines how stretched out you feel on the bike. This is simply the distance from where the top tube meets the handlebar struts in front to where it meets the seat tube in the back. The ideal length depends on your torso and arm measurements. Cycling Today recommends adding your own torso and arm measurements, dividing by two, and subtracting 15 centimeters (or 6 inches).
Of course, comfort is one of the primary considerations, and this can’t be calculated with a simple measurement. It is essential to go to the bike shop and test the feel of a bike. The bike store employees should be able to further advise you about the fit and style that are best suited to you.
Check Your Tires Before Every Ride
Pay special attention to your tires, and be sure they are adequately inflated to the manufacturer’s specifications. Be careful not to over-inflate the tires, as this could cause a blowout. Tire pressure increases on hot days, so remember that your tires will expand when the weather is warm. Replace tires that have lost traction, have worn treads, or have collected debris.
- Tires naturally lose air pressure over time, so checking and adjusting them before each ride is a good habit. The recommended pressure is usually printed on the sidewall. This information will be listed in a range (e.g., 40–60 PSI). You’ll want to find the sweet spot within that range based on your weight, riding style, and terrain.
- If you’re replacing an old tire, consider its width and tread. Road bikes use narrow tires (23mm–28mm) for optimal speed, while hybrid bikes often have mid-range tires (32mm–40mm) for versatility. On the other hand, mountain bikes usually have wider tires (2.0 inches and above) because they ensure better handling and traction on rough trails. A smooth tread works better on paved roads, while a knobby tread is ideal for dirt and gravel roads.
Check Lights And Bells
Your lights and bells are often the only way a driver can see or hear you on the road. You must check these critical bike parts before every ride so that they do not fail you at a dangerous moment. It’s especially important to do so when riding at night, in the rain, during foggy weather, and in other low-light conditions.
Inspect Your Brakes
Your brakes are often the only tool you have to prevent severe collisions. Be sure to check them before every ride. Check the manufacturer’s recommendations to change your brake lines and pads as needed. If you aren’t sure whether your brakes are safe, get a consultation at your local bike repair shop. Act sooner rather than later; you never want to be stuck with faulty brakes in a dangerous traffic situation.
- Typically, a bicycle will have two brakes, one on the front wheel and one on the rear wheel. While both front and rear brakes work together to slow you down, they each play slightly different roles in the braking process. The front brakes provide most of the stopping power. The rear brakes contribute to overall stopping power, but they focus more on maintaining stability and preventing the rear wheel from locking up.
- To ensure both your front and rear brakes are working properly, squeeze the levers. They should be firm and responsive, ensuring that the bike stops smoothly. If your brakes feel spongy or unresponsive, don’t risk it! Get them adjusted by a professional bike mechanic.
Pre-ride bike inspections can be a difficult habit to get into, but they’re essential to do so that you stay as safe as possible. Most riders want to hop on their bikes and hit the open road, but a quick safety check can help keep you safe during your ride.
Step 2: Use The Right Gear
Once you have the right bike, it’s time to get the proper safety gear. The right equipment can help to avoid accidents and serious injuries.
Always Wear A Helmet!
Wearing a helmet is the most critical thing you can do to both prevent harm and reduce the severity of any injuries you sustain in a bicycle accident. A study published in Accident Analysis and Prevention (a peer-reviewed scientific research journal) found that helmet usage reduces head injuries by 48 percent and serious head injuries by 60 percent. Helmet use was also found to reduce the number of cyclists who were killed or seriously injured by 34 percent. There is simply no denying the evidence: helmets save lives. They can minimize the risk of sustaining devastating head injuries (including those that cause paralysis, loss of cognitive abilities, and other permanent disabilities). Be sure to get a helmet that is correctly fitted to your head size. If your helmet is damaged, it is time to get a new one.
Wear Light-Colored Reflective Clothing
Light-colored clothing helps ensure that drivers can see you on the road. It also helps you avoid becoming overheated, which is easy to do while biking in the direct sunlight on a warm California day. In addition to wearing light colors, you can also use reflective tape and Velcro. Add these accessories to your helmet and bike pedals. Reflectors are an effective way to get drivers’ attention
Protect Yourself From The Sun
It is easy to get overheated and sunburned during the intense cardiovascular exercise of a bike ride under the California sun. Be sure to take plenty of water with you on every trip you take. Wear sunscreen and reapply as necessary. A hat and sunglasses can also help protect you from the sun (especially if they are rated to block ultraviolet light).
Step 3: Plan Your Route Carefully
It is essential to plan a safe route before you hit the road. Follow our tips for creating a route with the least chance of accidents and injuries.
Map It Out And Avoid Distractions
Distractions are dangerous for both drivers and bicyclists. Whether you are on a bike or behind the wheel of a car, distractions prevent you from seeing the road ahead and avoiding collisions.
This is why it is crucial to plan your route before you begin a ride. You don’t want to be occupied by your cell phone, GPS, or navigation program while you are on the road. You also don’t want to be distracted by trying to navigate unfamiliar areas.
Study your route ahead of time so you can stay alert at all times during your ride.
Choose The Time Wisely
California is notorious for its heavy traffic. Especially in large cities, it can be challenging to get anywhere between 6 and 9 a.m. or between 3 and 7 p.m. It is especially important for cyclists to avoid heavy traffic. Traffic makes it more difficult for drivers to see your bike and anticipate your movements. It also makes them more impatient. Impatient drivers tend to make unsafe maneuvers, and this can be deadly for bicyclists who have the misfortune of being nearby. Avoid riding during rush hour when possible. If you cannot avoid these times, be sure to use designated bike paths or side roads that are quieter and have less traffic than the main roads.
Avoid Busy Intersections
Collisions at intersections are known to have higher accident rates than other parts of the road. In fact, in 2010, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported that 36 percent of all reported accidents occurred at intersections. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) also reported that intersections account for roughly 25% of traffic-related fatalities and 50% of all traffic-related injuries annually. There are many reasons for this. Ultimately, an intersection is a confluence of many different paths of traffic, and drivers are not always prepared to respond to all these changes at once.
Bicyclists are safer when they avoid busy intersections. Plan your route to find quieter side roads with less traffic. Of course, it is not possible to avoid all intersections, but quieter intersections with less traffic carry a lower risk of accidents. When you do come to an intersection on your ride, be especially cautious. Take out your earbuds and pay careful attention in all directions. Be prepared to stop suddenly. Never assume that a driver will yield the right-of-way (even if it belongs to you). Make eye contact with drivers to ensure they see you before you begin crossing the road.
Step 4: Practice Good Biking Habits
Now that you have the right bike, safety gear, and route, it is time to hit the road! Follow our bike riding safety tips to protect yourself while on the road. Defensive riding can drastically minimize the risk of accidents and injuries.
Don’t Text And Ride
Texting and riding can be just as dangerous as texting and driving. Bicyclists are among the most vulnerable road users; they have little to no protection from the force of impact during a collision. Because of this, bicycle riders must remain highly alert at all times. Texting requires both mental concentration and physical control of the phone. These tasks can be deadly for a rider who isn’t watching the road.
Ditch The Headphones
Headphones and earbuds can also prevent a rider from observing danger on the road ahead. In fact, the California Vehicle Code actually prohibits riders from wearing earphones in both ears while riding. But even one earbud can make it more difficult to hear oncoming traffic, emergency vehicle sirens, and other important alerts. Paying attention to the road doesn’t just mean watching. Be sure to listen for any oncoming traffic, obstacles, or other potential dangers.
Don’t Be A Distracted Cyclist
Like distracted drivers, distracted cyclists can cause injury to themselves and others. If you are distracted, you cannot prepare for the road ahead. You cannot avoid collisions when you are distracted; in fact, you might even cause them. If you are found to be entirely at fault for the crash, the driver involved has no legal obligation to compensate you at all. This is why it’s vital for bicyclists to avoid causing accidents.
Control Your Speed
It is easy to lose control of your bike when riding downhill. But even if you are not accelerating quickly, it is still important to control your speed. You need to be able to stop suddenly and avoid obstacles. You should be able to maneuver around traffic and get out of dangerous situations quickly. This is especially important when riding in heavy traffic. Control your speed and stay alert so you will not be vulnerable to collisions.
Ride Defensively
As we have noted, bikers are some of the most vulnerable road users in California. You will have almost no protection from the full force of impact if you are involved in a collision. Often, a helmet is the only thing between your body and the other car (or the road, or a tree, or other objects that can cause serious injuries). This is why it is so important for bicyclists to ride defensively. Be highly aware of your surroundings at all times. Locate obstacles as soon as possible and have an exit strategy to avoid danger. Never assume that a driver will give you the right-of-way, even when you know it is yours. These precautions can drastically reduce your odds of being involved in a collision while riding.
Step 5: Prepare For An Emergency
It is important to be prepared for emergencies. You cannot anticipate every contingency, but by taking some basic precautions, you will be better prepared for common occurrences.
Always Charge Your Phone
Your cell phone is one of the most important things you will need in an emergency. Be sure it is fully charged before leaving the house, and be careful not to wear the battery down with music or other apps. (Small solar chargers are a great way to charge your phone on the go.) Plan your bike route in areas with good cell coverage.
Carry Cash And ID
You never know when you might need an ID. You also want to be prepared for emergency purchases, like extra water or bandages. What if you need to inflate your tires? A small amount of cash can help get you out of these binds.
Take Plenty Of Water
Bikers in California need plenty of water. Our warm, sunny weather can dehydrate you very quickly, especially when you are doing intense cardiovascular exercise, like uphill biking. If you start to feel thirsty, you are already dehydrated. Prepare by drinking water throughout your ride. A water backpack is an excellent way to have access to water without taking your hands off your bike.
Cycling Hazards In California
There are many cycling hazards on the streets of California that all bike riders should watch out for. Here’s what you can do to avoid potential accidents with them:
- Parked Cars – Dooring accidents, where a car door swings open into a cyclist, are a sneaky danger that usually occurs by the side of the road where vehicles sometimes park. Give parked cars a wide berth, especially when riding close to traffic.
- Pedestrians – Cyclists could miss pedestrians who step onto the road without warning, especially in urban areas. Always be prepared to stop or swerve safely to avoid a collision.
- Intersections – Turning vehicles often pose a risk to cyclists. Make eye contact with drivers, use clear hand signals, and be predictable in your movements.
- Roundabouts – Plenty of traffic accidents happen at roundabouts. Yield to traffic already in the roundabout, take the appropriate lane, and maintain a steady pace.
- Road Debris – Potholes, cracks, and uneven pavement can cause wobbles or sudden stops. Scan the road ahead and be prepared to maneuver around obstacles.
- Poor Weather Conditions – Rain, strong winds, and snow can significantly impact your visibility and control. To prevent weather- and rain-related accidents, reduce your speed, increase the following distance, and consider reflective gear in low-light situations.
Minimum Bicycle Requirements In California Based On CVC. Section 21201
Here are the key provisions of California Vehicle Code (CVC) Section 21201:
- Cyclists under 18 years old are required to wear a helmet that meets the safety standards set by the Department of Transportation (DOT).
- Bicycles must have brakes that can lock one wheel when applied to dry, level pavement.
- You cannot use high handlebars that require you to raise your hands above shoulder level for a proper grip.
- The bicycle shouldn’t be so big that you can’t comfortably stop, balance it with one foot on the ground, and get going again.
- Nighttime riders are required to wear a white headlight visible from 300 feet in front and a red reflector or taillight visible from 500 feet behind. Reflectors on the pedals or shoes are also recommended to maximize visibility.
Other California Bicycle Laws Cyclists Should Know
Cyclists are subject to the same traffic rules as motor vehicles. This means stopping at red lights, yielding to pedestrians, and obeying stop signs. Here are some key California laws that help keep cyclists safe:
California Vehicle Code, Section 21208
According to Section 21208 of the Vehicle Code, when a bicycle lane exists on a roadway, cyclists must ride within it unless specific conditions apply. These exceptions include overtaking another cyclist or pedestrian, preparing for a left turn, avoiding hazardous conditions, or approaching a place where a right turn is allowed. Additionally, cyclists exiting a bicycle lane must do so safely and signal appropriately.
California Streets and Highways Code, Section 890.4d
Section 890.4d of the Streets and Highways Code defines the different types of bikeways. Here’s a breakdown:
- Bike Paths or Shared Use Paths (Class I Bikeways) – These provide a completely separate right-of-way designated exclusively for bicycles and pedestrians to minimize interactions with motor vehicles.
- Bike Lanes (Class II Bikeways) – These are restricted right-of-ways designated for bicycles only, prohibiting motor vehicles or pedestrian traffic. However, vehicle parking and pedestrian crossflows are allowed.
- Bike Routes (Class III Bikeways) – These are on- or off-street rights-of-way shared by bicycles and pedestrians, designated by signs or markings.
- Cycle Tracks or Separated Bikeways (Class IV Bikeways) – These provide a right-of-way adjacent to a roadway exclusively for bicycle travel. They are physically separated from vehicular traffic using methods like grade separation, flexible posts, or barriers.
Cal. Veh. Code Section 21650
Under Section 21650 of the Vehicle Code, bicycles are allowed on highway shoulders, sidewalks, bicycle paths within a highway, and crosswalks or bicycle path crossings unless otherwise prohibited by local ordinances. Bicycles on roadways or highway shoulders should travel in the same direction as other vehicles.
Cal. Veh. Code, Section 21211
Section 21211 prohibits certain actions, including:
- Stopping, Standing, or Loitering – No person may stop, stand, sit, or loiter upon any Class I bikeway or any other public or private bicycle path or trail if it obstructs the normal and reasonable movement of cyclists.
- Placement or Parking – The law prohibits placing or parking any bicycle, vehicle, or other object on any bikeway, path, or trail unless the placement or parking is necessary for safety.
- Exceptions – This section does not apply to drivers or owners of utility or public utility vehicles, those making brief stops for newspaper deliveries, garbage trucks, or tow vehicles.
Cal. Veh. Code 23330
Under Section 23330, bicycles, motorized bicycles, or motorized scooters are not allowed at any vehicular crossing unless a special permit has been obtained from the DOT.
Common Types Of Bicycle Accident Injuries In California
There are many injuries you could sustain in a collision. Here are some of the most common injuries our bicycle lawyers see in bike accident cases:
Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs)
Brain injuries are the most serious among all bicycle injuries. A brain injury can affect every other part of your body, even basic life functions such as breathing and sleeping.
This is why it is so important to see a doctor immediately after hitting your head. The sooner you receive medical treatment, the better options your medical team will have for treating your injuries. Even a minor head injury can cause blurred vision or more devastating damage if it is not treated properly.
The American Journal of Surgery reports that riders wearing helmets were 51 percent less likely to suffer a serious TBI and 44 percent less likely to die. Research has demonstrated this fact again and again – helmets save lives.
They can also reduce the severity of a brain injury, which can dramatically affect your prognosis. Your quality of life can be changed by the fact that you were wearing a helmet during a bike accident.
The American Association of Neurological Surgeons also ranked twenty recreational activities based on the number of TBIs that were seen in US emergency rooms in 2009. Bicycling was the most common activity that caused traumatic brain injuries. The next most common sport, football, only caused about half as many TBIs as bicycling did in the same year.
Traumatic brain injuries can permanently change the course of your life. You might be left unable to return to work or make any kind of living at all. You might experience problems with memory or cognition. You might not recognize your own family members and friends. You could be permanently disabled, facing exorbitant medical costs that accrue for the rest of your life. When a negligent driver causes these losses, he or she has a legal obligation to compensate you for them. In the case of a TBI, this compensation can be significant. This is why it is so important to have an experienced California bicycle accident attorney protect your legal rights as soon as an accident occurs.
Broken Bones
When most people think of broken bones, they imagine a simple cast that can be removed after a few weeks. The reality is that broken bones can be far more complicated than that. Some small breaks cannot heal in a cast at all. Instead, the victim must painfully allow the bones to heal on their own.
In other cases, the bones do not regrow properly, and the victim is left with reduced functionality or ongoing pain. Some broken bones can cause internal injuries (such as damage to the blood vessels or nerves). You are entitled to compensation for your pain and suffering, and this compensation must adequately reflect whatever your medical condition is. If your condition is complicated and requires ongoing care, you might suffer more and be entitled to more compensation.
Internal Injuries
Internal bleeding can quickly become a life-threatening condition. It can be caused by sharp fragments of broken bone piercing your blood vessels. It could also be caused by injuries to your organs. These are some of the most serious injuries a person can suffer. They can’t be seen, the symptoms can be subtle, and they can endanger your life in a matter of minutes. This is why it is so important to see a doctor right away after an accident. Even if you do not think you have been injured, you could have internal injuries that are not immediately apparent. These injuries can only be diagnosed and treated by qualified medical professionals. Protect your health and your legal right to compensation by seeing a doctor right away.
Soft Tissue Injuries
Insurance companies are notorious for their treatment of soft tissue injuries. These injuries to the muscles, tendons, ligaments, and other non-bony structures are hard to see. Because of this, insurance companies tend to assign them a low value and make unfair settlement offers to victims who have suffered “only” soft tissue injuries.
The reality is that soft tissue injuries are often the most painful type of injury a bike accident victim can sustain. These are the injuries that tend to linger. They wake you up at night with pain and prevent you from picking up your children. Some of the most personal losses you will suffer can be related to your soft tissue injuries. Don’t let the insurance company tell you these injuries aren’t worth much.
Facial And Eye Injuries
When cyclists are involved in accidents, their faces and eyes are particularly vulnerable. During a fall or collision, the face is often the first point of contact with the ground, pavement, or other objects. While helmets shield the skull, they don’t cover the entire face. Cyclists often rely on sunglasses or regular eyewear, which may not be sufficient protection during an accident.
Here are some of the common facial and eye injuries after a bicycle accident:
- Contusions & Abrasions – When a cyclist falls or collides with an object, the face often bears the brunt. Scrapes, bruises, and minor cuts are common occurrences.
- Facial Fractures – High-impact accidents can lead to fractures in facial bones such as the nose, cheekbones, or jaw. These injuries may require surgical intervention.
- Corneal Abrasions – Dust, debris, or impact can scratch the cornea—the clear front surface of the eye. Symptoms include pain, redness, and sensitivity to light.
- Foreign Body Ingress – Small particles like gravel or dust can get lodged in the eye, causing irritation and discomfort.
- Orbital Fractures – Severe accidents may lead to fractures of the eye socket (orbit) and affect eye movement and vision.
Spinal Cord Injuries
Serious spinal cord injuries can occur in a high-impact accident. They can impact mobility and other bodily functions. In certain cases, they can even cause partial or complete paralysis. These injuries require immediate medical attention. Early diagnosis and intervention can minimize further damage and improve the chances of recovery. Treatment options may include surgery, medication, and extensive physical therapy and rehabilitation.
Wrongful Death
Bicycle accidents can be devastating, and when they result in the loss of life, the impact is immeasurable. A wrongful death claim seeks compensation for the financial and emotional losses suffered by surviving family members due to a preventable death. In California, spouses, domestic partners, children (including stepchildren), and financially dependent parents can file a lawsuit.
A wrongful death claim hinges on the concept of negligence. The claimant must prove that the defendant owed a duty of care to the deceased, breached that duty, and, as a result, caused their death. A motorist’s reckless driving, a municipality’s failure to maintain safe road conditions, or a manufacturer’s defective bicycle part could all be grounds for a wrongful death claim.
Losing a loved one in a bicycle accident is a heartbreaking experience. While no amount of compensation can replace the loss, a wrongful death claim can provide financial relief and a sense of justice. If you find yourself in this unfortunate situation, our experienced bicycle accident attorneys can help. We can gather evidence, negotiate with insurance companies, and represent your family in court if necessary.
Frequently Asked Questions About Bicycle Safety
What Is The Most Important Safety Rule In Cycling?
The single, most important rule for safe cycling is to wear a helmet at all times, regardless of how short your ride may be. A helmet can protect you from serious head injuries in the event of an accident, and it is also a legal requirement in many places.
What Is The Most Significant Safety Concern For Bicyclists?
NHTSA data shows that most bike accidents occur when riders fall or collide with cars. What makes cyclists more susceptible to severe injuries is that they do not have the same protection as other road users in cars, trucks, and other bigger vehicles.
What Actions Can Drivers Take To Help Protect Cyclists?
Drivers can take several actions to help protect cyclists and ensure their safety on the road:
- Allow cyclists to share your lane. Make sure to give them enough space to maneuver.
- Yield to cyclists at intersections if they have the right of way.
- Only pass cyclists when it is safe to move into an adjacent lane. In most states, drivers must maintain at least 3 feet of distance between their vehicle and the cyclist when passing.
- Always check for cyclists before opening car doors, making turns, or changing lanes.
- Be extra cautious in poor weather conditions, low visibility, and at night when cyclists may be harder to see.
- Stay focused on the road and avoid distractions like texting or using your phone while driving.
- Adhere to all traffic laws and signals, and respect bike lanes and cyclist rights on the road.
Where Do Most Accidents With Cyclists Occur?
Statistics show that most bicycle accidents take place in urban areas. In fact, the NHTSA reports that approximately 75% of bicycle deaths occur in cities. The higher density of traffic and the prevalence of intersections increase the risk for cyclists. There is a higher risk of death and serious injury for bicyclists involved in collisions with motor vehicles at midblock locations, where vehicles are often traveling at higher speeds, and drivers may not be expecting to see cyclists. Urban planning can mitigate these risks by incorporating more dedicated bike lanes, improving road conditions, and implementing traffic-calming measures.
Which Time Of Day Is Riskiest For Bicyclists?
Most bicycle accidents occur between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m., as reported by the NHTSA. In low visibility conditions, drivers will have difficulty spotting cyclists, and cyclists will have difficulty spotting potential hazards on the road. During these high-risk times, cyclists should use proper lighting, wear reflective gear, and remain extra vigilant for potential dangers.
