  • BICYCLE SAFETY GUARDIANS, Bicycling Is Fun, Healthy, and a Great Family Activity
    TIPS FOR PARENTS, BICYCLE SAFETY GUARDIANS, Bicycling is fun, healthy, and a great family activity. But a bicycle isn’t a toy; it’s a vehicle! AND KIDS Some bike crashes can cause serious injuries and most are related to the behavior of you (the bicyclist) or the motorist. There are a number of things you can do to prevent a crash, and protect your brain if a crash occurs. Safe Riding Tips Before riding, make sure you, your family, and the bicycles are ready to ride. Be a “Roll Model” for other adults and children. Remember to: ■ Wear a Bicycle Helmet. Everyone – at every age – should wear bicycle helmets. For more guidance on fitting a helmet, see the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s Fitting Your Bike Helmet. ■ Adjust Your Bicycle to Fit. Stand over your bicycle. There should be 1 to 2 inches between the rider and the top tube (bar) if using a road bike and 3 to 4 inches if using a mountain bike. The seat should be level front to back, and the height should be adjusted to allow a slight bend at the knee when the leg is fully extended. The handlebar height should be level with the seat. ■ Check Your Equipment. Before riding, inflate tires properly and check that the brakes work. ■ See and Be Seen. Whether daytime, dawn, dusk, bad weather, or at night, make yourself visible to others. Wear neon, fluorescent or other bright colors when riding, to be most easily seen. Wear something that reflects light, such as reflective tape or markings, or flashing lights.

  • Approve Agreement for Regional Bike Share Program
    Item #17-5-16 SACOG Board of Directors Action April 17, 2017 Approve Agreement for Regional Bike Share Program Issue: Should SACOG enter into an agreement with Social Bicycles (SoBi) for a Regional Bike Share Program? Recommendation: SACOG staff recommends that the Board authorize the Chief Executive Officer to execute an agreement with SoBi for a Regional Bike Share Program. (See Attachment 1, Program Agreement between Social Bicycles Inc. and Sacramento Area Council of Governments for Sacramento Area Bikeshare.) Committee Action/Discussion: Background On March 16, 2017, SACOG staff recommended to the SACOG Board approval of a contract with SoBi for a regional bike share system of 900 smart bikes. However, in light of an unsolicited proposal to the City of West Sacramento for a dockless bike share system, the SACOG Board tabled the staff recommendation and asked staff to: 1) If possible, finalize the agreement with Social Bicycles for future Board consideration; and 2) Consider alternative approaches, either with or without a new operator in the marketplace, to the model SACOG has been developing for a regional bike share system. On April 4, the Bike Share Policy Steering Committee (PSC) met to review an alternative approach to SoBi’s previous proposal for a regional bike share system. The PSC agenda included: 1) A SACOG staff briefing on dockless bike share systems; 2) A SACOG staff presentation on an alternative term sheet with SoBi; 3) A presentation from Ryan Rzepecki, CEO of SoBi, describing dockless bike share systems and SoBi’s alternative approach to delivering a regional bike share system; and 4) An update from Mayor Cabaldon on the City of West Sacramento’s action authorizing the City Manager and Mayor to negotiate and execute an agreement with LimeBike, a dockless bike share system operator.

  • Bicycle Pedestrian Manual
    Bicycling Manual A GUIDE TO SAFE BICYCLING COLORADO IS A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE, WORK AND PLAY. Riding a bike is a healthy and fun option for experiencing and exploring Colorado. Bicycling is also an attractive transportation choice for getting to and from work, running errands, and going to school. Bicycles are legally considered “vehicles” on Colorado’s roadways, so be sure you know the rules of the road and be respectful of all road users. The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) encourages you to take a few minutes to review this booklet and share the information with family and friends. This bicycling safety guide explains the rules of the road, provides tips about biking and shares with you the basic guidelines about cycling on Colorado roadways. Bike Safely and Share the Road! BICYCLING IN COLORADO Every person’s transportation choice counts! We all need to be conscious of and courteous to other individuals when sharing our roadways. Remember, streets and trails are for everyone and sharing is more than good manners! A bicyclist in Colorado has all the rights and responsibilities applicable to the driver of any other vehicle. That means bicyclists must obey the rules of the road like other drivers, and are to be treated as equal users of the road. Bicyclists, like motorized drivers, can be ticketed or penalized for not obeying the laws.
