I just started riding a bike for some general exercise. I have been riding it around my neighborhood (small, dead end, with a bunch of cul-del-sacs, takes about 10 minutes to go all the way around). I'm getting a little more comfortable now and am thinking of venturing out on the road.
What are the road rules for riding a bike? I know you are suppose to go with the flow of traffic (ride on the right side of the road), but what are the rules beyond that?
What if there is a sidewalk and a road are you still suppose to ride on the side of the road?
I will mostly just be on a fairly busy road to go from my subdivision area to other subdivision areas. This makes me a little nervous (about 15 years ago my brother was hit by a car while riding with the flow of traffic, he was okay, but you can see where I would be nervous). So I just want to make sure I am doing everything I can to be safe. Thanks for your help!
