As a driver in the District of Columbia I’ve seen some pretty narrow escapes by bicyclists in traffic. To inform cyclists, drivers, and law enforcement officials, the DC Department of Transportation produces a Pocket Guide to DC Bike Laws (PDF).
For more helpful info on DC bike laws and safe riding tips check out the DDOT Bicycle Laws Website or follow @goDCgo on Twitter.
