*****************************************************************************

More bicyclists are a regular sight in spring. As students and staff turn from Clays Mill onto Reed Lane or other side roads, cyclists can be put at risk because of driver inexperience or inattention. Please remember KY state laws to avoid unfortunate (and life-changing) accidents, especially the highlighted rule:

RULES FOR MOTORISTS CONCERNING BICYCLES
A motorist must:
• Share the road with bicycles.
• Before passing a cyclist, look to see if there is loose debris on the pavement
that might cause them to move into the center of the lane. Pass a cyclist only
when it can be done safely, and give ample room (3 feet) between your car
and the cyclist. Realize the air turbulence your vehicle can create at high
speeds or in windy weather. Give the cyclist extra room if your vehicle has
extended outside rearview mirrors. Return to the lane only when you are
safely clear of the overtaken bicyclist.
• Look for cyclists. Because of their narrow profile you will need to develop
your eye-scanning patterns to include bicyclists.
• When you are turning right after passing a cyclist, leave ample room so you
don’t cut him off when you slow for your turn.
• When opening your car door, check behind for cyclists.
• At night be extra alert and don’t use your high beams, for they will temporarily
blind the cyclist.
Remember, bicyclists are not special and privileged. They have the same
rights, rules, and responsibilities as all other highway users.
