How to Properly Secure Bikes on Bike Racks
Ideally, use two locks to secure both wheels and the frame to the rack.
Your rear wheel is typically more valuable, so if you only have one lock, use a U-lock to lock the frame and rear wheel to the rack.
How to Properly Secure Scooters on Bike Racks
The best locations on your scooter for locking are:
- Around the stem
- Through the folding mechanism
- Through the carrying handle (look out for easily removed screws!)
Signaling & Scanning
Signal to let other road users know when you are planning on stopping, turning or changing lanes. Before signaling, scan or look behind you to check for other road users. For turns, try to signal about 100 feet before the turn and signal for 2-3 seconds.
Scan your surroundings such as looking over your shoulder to assess traffic conditions behind you, especially when changing lanes, turning or stopping.
