Bicyclist’s Right to Ride

The bicyclist's right to ride refers to the legal and social recognition that cyclists are entitled to use public roadways, just like motorists. This right ensures that bicycles are treated as legitimate vehicles under traffic laws. In many places, cyclists must follow the same rules as cars, such as stopping at signals and signaling turns. This right promotes safe and equitable access to roads, encourages cycling as a mode of transport, and supports the idea of sharing the roadway responsibly among all users, including drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists.
