The state provisions governing motor vehicle traffic and uniform rules of the road also apply to bicycles. In some instances, people have even been convicted for drunk driving while riding a bike. State laws vary, but in general, laws on the manner of riding bicycles include the following: you must ride on a permanent and regularly attached seat; do not carry another person on the handlebars; do not carry more persons than the bicycle was designed to carry; ride as far to the right side of the roadway as possible; watch out while passing standing cars; ride in single file, and use designated sidewalks or paths where available. It's a good idea to wear a helmet and to obey all safety rules. State and local laws also require that drivers of motor vehicles follow all traffic laws in respect to other motor vehicles and bicycles. If you or a relative is injured by an unsafe driver, you may wish to seek the advice of a knowledgeable attorney.
