Summer is rolling along and we hope you are enjoying it safely. Have you seen our messages along the Oregon Coast Bike Route? We're hoping to reach people who drive there so your ride is safe and memorable. Read on for more news.
 Bicycling and driving on the coast is a great way to soak up Oregon’s natural beauty. Unfortunately, all of that scenery can also be distracting for everyone on the road, which is why ODOT has launched a campaign reminding travelers how to share the road safely via messages on brochures, social media, billboards and magazines (p. 16). The key messages include “Look out for each other” and “Give people who bicycle plenty of room.” The campaign is partnering with Oregon State Parks, Travel Oregon, and local visitor centers, but you can help get the word out too! Download or place an order for a brochure.
Updated Bicycle Manual: A refresh of the rules of the road
What does “Stop as Yield” mean? How do I bike with cargo? Should I ride to the right or can I “take the lane?” Learn answers to these questions and more with the updated Oregon Bicycling Manual, which is available online (PDF) and in print. The Spanish version will be available soon. Anyone who walks, rolls, or drives should review these rules to make roads and rides safer and better.
