Lake Tahoe Bicycle Coalition has launched a multimedia education campaign to promote safe bicycling on Tahoe’s roads and separated paths.

Key tips include biking in the same direction as traffic, using lights, reflectors and bright clothing to be visible to drivers, passing on the left when on a multi-use path, using proper hand signals, and obeying traffic safety laws.

A full list of bicycle safety tips is available online.

In addition to tips for people riding bikes, the safety campaign includes advice for motorists, with a pilot program to install special electronic sign boards in key locations around Lake Tahoe roadways to remind motorists to watch for bicyclists, share the road and give bicyclists three feet when passing.
