Cars and bicycles share the street. Usually established on streets with lots of traffic that are too narrow for bike lanes. Special pavement markings direct bicyclists to ride outside the "Door Zone" (see "Door Zone" panel). Markings and signs also encourage cars to share the lane with bicyclists.
1. Denver B-cycle offers four access levels: annual membership, 24-hour access pass, 7-day access pass, and 30-day access pass. 2. All pass/membership levels can be purchased online at denver.bcycle.com (credit card required). 3. Only 24-hour access passes can be purchased at B-stations (credit card required).

Bike-on-Light Rail
Loading Your Bike onto Light Rail
Load your bike at the front or rear entrance of the light rail car (look for the symbol on the platform near the yellow safety strip). Bikes are not allowed at the front entrance leading to an occupied operators cab. Prior to boarding, allow other passengers to exit/ board first. Hold your bike against the rear or front of the light rail car. Stay with your bike and leave plenty of room for passengers to clear the doorway at all times. Be ready to exit immediately at your destination.

To cross an intersection, use the lane farthest to the right that points to where you are going. Follow lane markings to cross an intersection. If you cant change lanes to turn left, ride across the street to the other side and align your bike with traffic.
Share the trail. Denvers trails have been designed for a variety of users, and not only for one group. By following simple, common sense rules and courtesy, trail use will be safe and enjoyable.
Right-of-Way
Cyclists and In-line skaters must yield to pedestrians. Pedestrians always have the right-of-way.
Dismount As Posted
Dismount and walk across roadways or other posted locations. When choosing a pedestrian style crossing across the flow of traffic, cross only when it is safe to do so.
YES YES
NO
As a vehicle, bicycles must obey all the Rules of the Road. Cyclists have the same privileges and duties as other traffic.
NO YES
Be Careful at Intersections
The majority of urban bicycle accidents take place at intersections. Proceed carefully, make sure you are visible, and signal your intentions. Vehicles making turns can be particularly dangerous.
Signal To Others
Cyclists: when approaching others, sound your bell or horn early, then pass safely on the left. Pedestrians: acknowledge with a wave when someone is overtaking, then step to the right.
Use your path. Dont bike on designated walking or running paths. Be careful at crossings. Look both ways. Cyclists: yield to through traffic at intersections. Remember, pedestrians have the right of way. Pedestrians: exercise caution. Be aware that cyclists and skaters require lots of room to stop.
Ride Appropriately
Ride according to conditions: traffic, trails, weather, bicycle and fitness. Use caution on hills, under/over bridges, bends, and when the trails are busy.
Be wary of parked cars. Motorists can unexpectedly open doors. Ride a car door width away from parked cars.
Be Alert
*
NO
When riding in a bike lane, ride on the left side of the laneat least 4 feet from parked cars.
Watch for slippery sections covered by ice, loose gravel or silt. Be sure the trail is clear of obstructions ahead. Ring bell for others where visibility is restricted such as on hills and turns.
YES
Look inside each parked car before you pass it. If youre unable to see someone inside or you spot someone inside, move outside the Door Zone or slow down and pass carefully. Watch behind you. Keep track of traffic behind you, so youll know whether you have enough room if you must swerve suddenly out of the Door Zone. A mirror helps you see traffic behind you as you pedal forward.
Respect Nature
Do not disturb or feed wildlife. Keep to well established trails to protect habitat. Do not collect plant or animal material.
Commuter Cycling
Transportation becomes recreation; the necessary jaunt becomes a pleasurable and healthy journey. Plan your trip and prepare for sudden weather changes. Bring a set of clothes and freshen up at work.
Passing on your left.
Advise others when passing. Sound your bell or horn or call out when approaching pedestrians or slower cyclists. Then pass safely on the left.
BRONCOS
Ride in a straight line. Avoid weaving between parked cars. Ride in a straight line at least 4 feet away from parked cars to avoid the Door Zone (see below).

LEFT RIGHT (OR) RIGHT STOP
CYCLIST
Always wear a bicycle helmet to reduce the risk of permanent injury or death from a crash. To make sure your helmet fits right, put it on then use the eyes/ears/mouth test. Eyes: When you look up you should see the front rim. If not, your helmet wont protect your forehead. Ears: The side straps should come to a V just below each ear. Mouth: When you open your mouth wide, you should feel the helmet push down on your head. If your helmet doesnt pass the test, adjust its buckles. Wear bright clothing, use lights, reectors, a bell and a mirror to see, be seen and be heard.
Use hand signals so that drivers know where youre going. Signal all your turns and stops ahead of time. Also, before turning, look over your shoulder for any traffic. Check and only move when its safe.
Make eye contact. Confirming eye contact with motorists helps them know that youre on the road.
Consider using the other equipment illustrated below to make your ride safer and more comfortable. Helmet Bright/light colored clothing Rear light and reectors Rear rack Panniers Bell or horn
See. Be seen. Be heard. Use lights at night or when visibility is poor. A white headlight and rear red reflector are required by law. Flashing lights are especially effective. Use bike reflectors, reflective clothing and a bell. Never use earphones. You wont be able to hear whats going on around you.
Night Riding At night, bicycles should be equipped with a front white light visible to 500 feet and a rear red reflector visible when illuminated by headlights to 600 feet. One Person Per Bike Riding double is only permitted when carrying a child in an approved carrier or when riding on a tandem bicycle. Children should always wear a helmet.
Wheel reectors
Bike Bans Bicyclists are not allowed to ride on the 16th Street Pedestrian Mall, except on Sundays. Bike parking is not permitted on the mall.
