Riding Safe in the City

Cycling in Brooklyn is generally safe, but urban riding requires awareness and skill. With the right knowledge and habits, you can enjoy Brooklyn's streets with confidence.

Essential Safety Tips

  • Always wear a properly fitted helmet
  • Use front and rear lights at night
  • Ride predictably — signal your turns
  • Stay out of blind spots, especially near trucks and buses
  • Use designated bike lanes whenever possible

Handling Intersections

Intersections are where most cycling accidents happen. Always make eye contact with drivers, watch for turning vehicles, and never assume a driver sees you.
