Most of safe riding in traffic is overcoming the fear and psychological barriers that us think it's not possible or safe. With a few basic skills, such as riding in a straight line, looking behind you without swerving, using hand signals, making sure you are visible, including using lights at night, and following the same rules as when driving a car, it's actually very possible and safe. You get better and more confident as you practice the skills you learn in this class.

K Street Mall is open for bicyclists

Bicyclists will always be required to yield to pedestrians, and not ride on the sidewalks, which, in the case of K Street Mall, is the area between the the building walls and the row of trees.
