Biker's Bible Now Here!

Whether you're a motorist, bicyclist, or pedestrian, knowing about safety for your desired mode of travel is important. The Department of Motor Vehicles makes a driver's manual teaching motorists how to drive safely, so why not have a manual teaching bicyclists the same? Bicyclists are road-users too. Well, the wait is over because now "Safe Bicycling in the Washington Area" is here!

A partnership of BikeArlington, the Washington Area Bicyclist Association, and the District of Columbia Department of Transportation worked together to create "Safe Bicycling in the Washington Area". This booklet instructs the reader on everything the beginner and intermediate bicyclist needs to know, including:

- finding the right bike and equipping it;

- where and how to park your bike;

- how to choose a good helmet;

- traffic basics;

- lane positioning, turning, and passing;

- what to wear in the dark and in inclement weather;

- and a whole lot more!

"Safe Bicycling in the Washington Area" is an invaluable guide and a biker's bible. You can download the booklet for free.
