With spring finally upon us, OPP officers are reminding everyone to keep bike safety in mind.  Motorists are reminded to give cyclists a safe space to ride, use extra caution while driving through residential areas, especially near schools and play areas, and be cautious at intersections as that is the most common area for collisions with bicycles.  Cyclists are reminded to inspect their bicycle regularly to make sure it’s working properly, always wear a helmet, obey all traffic laws, when riding on the street, ride as close to the right side of the road as possible, and always signal your intentions to turn and stop.  OPP officers say cycling safety is the responsibility of everyone who uses the streets, roads and highways no matter what method of transportation you are using and everyone must work together to keep it safe and fun.
