With gas prices soaring, commuting by bicycle can make a lot of sense. But don't turn a good idea into an unnecessary risk. Before you head out with your bicycle or e-bike, remember there're rules for bikers too and plenty of tips to keep you safer. #GoodNeighbor * Ride in the same direction as traffic. * Obey street signs and signals, just like a car. * Focus on potholes and other irregularities on the road. * Keep smartphone distractions away. * Your helmet is your best friend: adjust it. * Choose routes with less and slower traffic. * Assume car drivers don't see you: drive defensively.
