 Bicycle riding is fun, healthy, and a great way to be independent as long as you follow the rules of the road and some simple safety tips. Hi, this is Mavis Hartz with The Mountain Works. When riding a bike, don't forget to wear a properly fitted helmet, ride a bicycle that fits you, and watch for road hazards and avoid riding at night unless you have the proper lighting and light-colored clothing. Remember that your bicycle is not a toy, it is a vehicle. This message brought to you by ODOT and The Mountain Works.
