BICYCLISTS BELONG ON ALASKAN ROADS

http://www.merdes.com/bicyclists-belong-on-alaskan-roads/

WATCH FOR CYCLISTS

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), over 1,000 bicyclists died and over 450,000 people suffered bicycle-related injuries in the United States in 2015. These are steps an Alaskan driver can take to reduce the likelihood of killing someone on a bike:

Stay alert, constantly scan the roadway, including the shoulder, looking for bicyclists;

Anticipate bicyclists just around the corner;

Provide at least three feet of space between you and a bicyclist when passing;

Wait until the traffic lane next to you is clear (regardless of whether it is a lane of traffic going the same way as you are going, or the opposite way) before passing a bicyclist; and

Be patient – bicyclists are just as entitled as you are to be on the roadway.

SHARE THE ROAD

Alaskan bicyclists have all the rights (and obligations) of motorists when riding their bikes on the road. You can read the rules in Alaska Administrative Code.13 AAC 02.385, which provides all the details related to “Rules of the Road” for bicyclists. Most bicyclist rules depend on roadway conditions. For example, bicyclists should ride “as near to the right side of the roadway as practicable.” Further, upon hearing a signal from a motorist traveling in the same direction, bicyclists are to give way as far to the right “as is reasonable” pursuant to 13 AAC 02.400.

Drivers of motor vehicles also have a duties. They must drive in a manner that avoids unjustifiable risks of harm. This means motorists are expected to exercise the standard of care a reasonable person would observe in the same situation. Evidence of a lack of due care include the following situations:

Causing accidents;

Forcing evasive accident to avoid an accident; or

Compelling another motorist or bicyclist to slow or suddenly stop to avoid an accident

If you have been injured in a bicycle/car crash, or if you have lost a loved one in such manner, you may be entitled to compensation under Alaska law. Alaskan law holds people accountable for hurting others – when common sense could have avoided a wreck. It’s not a matter of punishment … but rather a matter of the world being a better place when people are held fully accountable for their actions. We all know if we don’t hold people accountable for hurting others, they will continue to drive irresponsibly.

Call an experienced and reputable Alaska personal injury attorney. Ask questions. Ensure the incident is fully investigated. Most attorneys will investigate a crash without charging you a dime. Alaska has some really good personal injury attorneys – honest, hard-working and straight shooting. Or, you can try the Alaska Bar’s Free lawyer referral service: 800-770-9999. If you want our help, call toll free: 866.452.3741. There is no charge to point you in the right direction.

Our three thousand miles of driving was a new experience and definition of #bikepacking and #biketouring which felt like an endurance test of how fast I could pack and unpack the bike to get some #bikerides along the way. Glad I didn't sell the #foldingbike from @dahonbikes. Wanted to bring my mini #fatbike but the trunk of the car flexed too much with my bike carrier. #adventureseeker #newadventures #biketour #biketravel #bicycletouring #touringbikes #touringbike #canong16 #bikewander #cyclingphotooftheday #justbikeit #bikesbelong #bikestagram #getoutandride (at Texas Hill Country)

We're celebrating 4 years of advocacy with a board meeting on Tuesday, January 15th. What do you think we should discuss? What can bikecar101 do for Southern California in 2019?

It is possible to make a difference in your community if you are willing to show up and invest time and money in the cause. Stay tuned for a proliferation of transportation options in the next 10 years as Los Angeles spends Measure M funding to expand rail in preparation for the Summer Olympic Games. https://la28.org/map
