Passage Text
Cities are expanding their networks of protected bike lanes to encourage cycling as a safe, healthy, and emissions-free way to commute short distances. Cyclists should use lights and reflectors after dark, signal turns clearly, and follow the same rules of the road as motor vehicles. Secure bicycle parking at transit stations supports combined cycling and public transit trips.
