On Friday, May 20, thousands of people will pack the streets on two wheels in celebration of Bike to Work Day. This national celebration raises awareness about creating bike friendly communities, and encourages everyone to hop on a bike and hit the pavement.

We’re sharing tips and best practices with driver-partners and riders on how to share the road with cyclists.

Leave 3 feet of space

  • Whether you’re driving your own vehicle, or you’re in an Uber, make sure that there is adequate space between the vehicle and the car to avoid possible collisions.

Be aware of bike lanes

  • Running to catch your ride? Double check that you’re not dashing in front of a bike.

Look twice before turning

  • If you’re driving your personal vehicle, make sure to look left and right before making a turn. If you’re in an Uber, remind your driver-partner crossing over a bike lane to double check that the road is clear.

Look before opening your door

  • One of the most common car/bike collisions occurs when cyclists have car doors swinging into their lane of traffic. Double check the bike lane before opening your door to avoid hitting a cyclist.

Whether you commute by bike, Uber, public transportation, or on two feet, we can all do our part to create safer roads for every commuter.
