There are a few cycling laws all riders must follow to help ensure a safe ride:

• Ride in the same direction as traffic.
• Follow all traffic signs and signals.
• Yield to pedestrians.
• Walk bikes on sidewalks.
• Use hand signals when turning, and do not to weave in and out of traffic.
• Never ride distracted. Wearing headphones is strongly discouraged, and it’s never a good idea to use your phone while riding.

All users must be 18 years or older to ride a Nice Ride bike. 

Keep in mind it's generally safest to take a route that includes a bike lane. When you map out a ride using the mobile app, we'll show you a route using bike lanes whenever possible. You can also use Google Maps​ to find bike routes using bike lanes. And there are many other resources for cyclists available online, such as this refresher​ of your rights and responsibilities as a biker in Minnesota.

While not required, its highly encouraged that all riders wear a helmet.
