Bike Laws in Colorado
While there are some regulations that cyclists share with vehicle drivers, there are also many regulations that are specific to cyclists. Cyclists must abide by these regulations. In fact, failure to do so can negatively impact a bicycle accident case.
- When riding a bicycle, take these precautions:
- Never ride against traffic
- Ride on paved shoulders and bike lanes when present and hazard-free
- Ride single-file on curved roads without lanes or shoulders
- Use hand signals to indicate your movements
- Use a headlight, taillight, and reflectors in low light or at night
- Make eye contact with drivers
- Don’t assume the right of way
- Wear helmets, glasses, gloves, and other protective gear
