It is strongly recommended that all cyclists wear an approved helmet every time they ride. For information about helmet programs and discount purchase, call (800) 53-KMUTE. Instructions for Loading your Bike on Buses Loading Your Bike • Let the driver know you will be loading your bike. DO NOT STEP IN FRONT OF THE BUS UNTIL THE DRIVER LETS YOU KNOW IT IS SAFE TO DO SO. • Bikes can only be loaded at the front end of the bus from the curbside and under no circumstances can you bring your bike inside the bus. Also, the driver can't get off the bus to help be he or she can tell you how to use the rack. Fairfield Suisun Transit Route 20 and Route 40 (Solano BART Express) and Route 30 (Fairfield - Davis) are equipped with frontmounted bicycle racks that carry 2 bikes.

If the rack is folded up, simply pull it down. 2. Lift the bike up and fit it into the rack's wheel wells, which are labeled for the front and rear wheels. If no other bike is on the rack, use the space closest to the bus. 3. After the bike is in the rack, simply lift the support arm up and over the front tire. Vacaville City Coach 160 Wauk eena Ro ad Solano County contains miles of rural roadways, many of which are appealing to cyclists because they provide scenic or challenging rides for recreation and the link to popular destinations. In many locations along these roads, bike lanes simply are not feasible so cyclists use striped shoulders where they are suitable or are required to share the roadway with motorists. The law does not require cyclists to ride to the right in narrow traffic lanes because it is often safest to "take the whole lane" in such circumstances. However, cyclists must be responsible for their actions, factors such as your speed, the speed and volume of other traffic, road grades, and surface quality may help you decide where to ride on rural roadways and narrow streets. ad Ha rm on Bikes on Transit Benicia Transit Rural Roadways d Clarksburg Road Bicycles are allowed on most Bay Area transit systems (usually no extra fee), with various restrictions.

The Solano Transportation Authority has been working with its member agencies and a number of and non-governmental groups to increase public awareness and promote bicycling as an environmentally sound, viable commute alternative since its inception in 1990. The STA adopted its first Countywide Bicycle Plan in 1995. Much progress has been made since the original plan, with the adoption of two updates in 1997 and 2001, along with the development of several regional bikeway segments. Of the county's 416 miles of regional roadway, 30.9 miles now contain bike lanes and more than 13 miles of off-street multi-use paths have been developed.

Bicycling reduces the consumption of fossil fuels, alleviates traffic congestion, and improves the region's air quality. The Solano Transportation Authority was formed in 1990 under a Joint Powers Agreement to act as Solano County's Congestion Management Agency as directed by federal legislation. The STA is responsible for transportation planning, inter-agency coordination, and programming of federal transportation funds in Solano County for it's eight member agencies; Benicia, Dixon, Fairfield, Rio Vista, Solano County, Suisun City, Vacaville, and Vallejo. The STA also provides countywide planning for the development of roads, transit, rideshare, rail, bicycle and pedestrian facilities.

Sacramento Airport Boulevard Road 22 "I'M MOST LIKELY TO BE HIT FROM BEHIND." 160 Most car-bike accidents happen at intersections, when either the motorist or the bicyclist makes an unexpected turn across the other's path. In hope of avoiding a rear-end collision, some cyclists ride the wrong way - only to get in trouble at an intersection, because a turning motorist never saw them. How do you get through intersections safely? Merge with traffic well in advance of the intersection, and position yourself in the proper turning lane. Using turn signals beforehand informs others of your intent, so they can react appropriately.

Remember that the rules in the drivers manual apply to bicyclists also. BE ALERT Ride defensively and expect the unexpected. Remember, bicyclists are more vulnerable. SCAN THE ROAD AROUND YOU Look ahead and anticipate what other traffic is likely to do. Watch for cars, people, pebbles, grates, etc. Learn to look back over your shoulder without losing your balance or swerving. RIDE IN A STRAIGHT LINE CHOOSE THE BEST WAY TO TURN LEFT Ride in a straight line and far enough from parked cars so you can avoid suddenly opened doors. Riding in a straight line allows others to anticipate what you are likely to do. There are two ways to make a left turn: 1) Like an auto, signal, move into the left lane, and turn left. Do not turn left from the right lane. 2) Like a pedestrian, use the crosswalks and walk your bike across the sidewalk. BE EQUIPPED RIDING ON SIDEWALKS MAY BE PROHIBITED Pedestrians have the right-of-way. Give them an audible warning before you pass. Watch for vehicles at driveways and intersections. YOU MAY LEAVE A BIKE LANE When overtaking a bicycle, making a left turn, avoiding a road hazard or other obstruction or you are afraid a motorist might turn across your path, you may temporarily merge WITH CAUTION into the adjacent automobile lane for safety or better visibility. Always wear a helmet It's the law for 18 year-olds and younger. Use protective gear and wear visible clothing. NEVER RIDE AGAINST TRAFFIC USE HAND SIGNALS RIDE IN THE MIDDLE OF NARROW LANES OBEY TRAFFIC SIGNS, SIGNALS, AND LAWS DO NOT PASS ON THE RIGHT BE VISIBLE AT NIGHT Bicyclists must ride with traffic. Motorists are not looking for bicyclists riding on the wrong side of the road. Hand signals tell others what you intend to do. Signal as a matter of courtesy and of self-protection. When the lane is too narrow for a car to pass you safety, ride in the middle of the lane. Bicyclists must follow the same laws as motorists. Stop at red lights and stop signs just as you would in a car. Wherever you ride, be cautious-even when riding in a bike lane. When approaching an intersection or driveway, be especially cautious and do not overtake a vehicle on its right; it might turn right in front of you. The law requires a strong headlight and a rear reflector or taillight at night or when visibility is poor. Wear light-colored clothes with reflective tape for extra protection.
