Know the laws

The scales of justice

Be smart and be familiar with the laws that concern bicycles, riders, and cycling.

Notes

  1. As of 2023, it is still necessary for bicycles to stop at stop signs, though the 2021 Bicycle Safety Act convenes a working group to study the issue.
  2. Virginia law does not mandate helmet use, though many localities do require them for some ages. The VDOT link has specific details.
