Bike safety and road etiquette

Just as we share beaches and hiking trails, we share roadways, too. We want everyone to have a fun, safe time in the Adirondacks, whether you're on a Cervelo, Schwinn, or cruising in your minivan. Here are some rules of the road and suggestions to ensure everyone has fun, safely.

Bicycles are considered vehicles just like cars and obey the same laws.

Cyclists may ride two or more abreast if space is available but must go single file when being overtaken by a vehicle.

Cyclists should ride as close to the right-side edge/curb as possible, but they are not required to ride in a designated bike lane or shoulder if it is not safe to do so (condition of pavement, too narrow, etc.)

Bicycles are not required to travel at a minimum speed.
