Frequently Asked Questions About Bicycle Commuting

Do I have to yield to cars?
Bicyclists have the same rights and privileges as cars, which means they have the same responsibilities as well. You need to yield to pedestrians, but if there isn’t a shoulder or bike lane you have just as much right to be in the lane as a car.

I have to wear a suit to work. How can I stay clean during my commute?
Lots of people do it every day. Many companies have showers available so you could pack a change of clothes. Make sure to ask if you’re not sure whether yours has showers or not.
If your company isn’t equipped with showers then you can pack a small toiletry pack to use to freshen up just before starting work.

Isn’t it dangerous?
Studies show that, statistically, you’re just as safe on a bike as you would be in a car.
