Follow Rules for Bikes

Cycle of Life
The age-old turf war between bikes and cars is found in almost every metropolitan environment. Even though they struggle to share the road with automobiles, bicyclists are shown some love by public transportation systems with bike racks and designated spaces. But, for two-wheelers and transit passengers to ride in harmony, there are etiquette and safety rules that should be observed. The truth of the matter is that bikes take up rider space on transit--putting the squeeze on everyone. So, if toting your trike, don't block doors or seats, and take care not to box in passengers. Riding during rush hour? Be mindful of boarding rules to avoid delays. And if you're lucky enough to find a seat after stowing your cycle, ensure that your bike doesn't lean or roll away: your creeping gears make us nervous. Once you exit a vehicle and breakaway, don't block turnstiles or ride inside the station. Keep an eye out for others, and you can be sure these simple suggestions will keep fellow riders on your side - on and off the road.
