Bike Law Pocket Guide · by Two Wheel Junction

Know the law where you ride.

So few cyclists understand the laws where they live and ride. Even fewer drivers do, and many police officers are equally unaware. Making matters worse, these laws are changing faster now than they have in over 30 years.

Safer streets start with education. So we built a pocket guide for every state.

What's inside

11 questions, answered for every state.

  1. Riding far right as practicable
  2. Riding two abreast
  3. Single-file requirements
  4. Safe passing distance
  5. Mandatory helmet use
  6. Mandatory bike lane use
  7. Sidewalk riding
  8. Whether impeding-traffic laws apply to bikes
  9. Stop sign as yield
  10. E-bike restrictions
  11. Contributory vs. comparative negligence after a crash
  12. Plus a reporting module

How we source it

Every answer links to the law.

In September we audited every one of the app's citations. Wherever a state publishes its own free, linkable text, we link to it. Where it doesn't, we say why.

VIA FREE LEGAL PUBLISHERS, EACH EXPLAINED

  • Paywalled state codes · 44

    Arkansas, Georgia, Mississippi and Tennessee publish their codes only through LexisNexis, so we link to free copies on Justia.

  • Whole-title PDFs · 11

    Colorado publishes free, but only as dated title-length PDFs, so we link section by section on Public.Law.

  • Court decisions · 8

    In some states the negligence rule comes from a court case, not a statute, and we could not find an official government site hosting the opinion.

Regarding Google and the Play Store

Before we go too far down this path, we need to be clear: Google absolutely holds the right to define what appears in their store. We are not arguing with that right. This is entirely about explaining where we are and what our path looks like moving forward.

We love the product, and the project itself is something that we believe is desperately needed for the cycling community across this entire country. So few cyclists understand the laws of where they live and how they ride, even fewer drivers do. Many law enforcement officers are equally unaware. Making matters worse, these laws are changing faster right now than they have in over 30 years.
