Protecting the Rights of McMinnville's Bicyclists
Unfortunately, bikes do not possess the same safeguards cars have to protect their drivers. The sheer size and weight of a car is enough to cause extensive damage to a bicyclist and his or her bike. Serious injuries and even wrongful death can result.
Distracted automobile drivers are some of the top offenders when it comes to bicycle crashes. Drivers busy texting, eating or talking on their cell phones often aren't aware of their surroundings. By the time they see a cyclist in front of them, if they do at all, it is too late.
Bike riders are afforded most of the same rights and responsibilities as automobile drivers. Some drivers, however, don't recognize those rights and expect the bicyclist to yield to them. This kind of negligence can be extremely hazardous to bike riders. Whether you are a commuter bicyclist, hobby bicyclist, tour bicyclist, or training for races, you have the right to a safe and enjoyable cycling experience while on Oregon's streets and roadways.
