13. Don't weave through traffic or make any moves that may surprise
people with whom you are sharing the road.
14. Observe and yield the right of way.
15. Never ride your bicycle while under the influence of alcohol or
drugs.
16. If possible, avoid riding in bad weather, when visibility is obscured,
at dusk or in the dark, or when extremely tired. Each of these conditions
increases the risk of accident.
C. RULES OF THE TRAIL
1. Be prepared. If something goes wrong while you're riding off-road, the
closest help may be miles away. See Section 8 for the equipment you
should take with you on an off-road ride.
2. Don't ride alone in remote areas. Even when riding with others, make
sure that someone knows where you're going and when you expect to be
back.
3. Surface hazards make off-road riding much more difficult and there-
fore more dangerous than riding on paved roads. Start slowly and build
up your skills on easier terrain before tackling the more difficult.
