Warmer weather means more cyclists on Connecticut roads. Whether you're commuting in Hartford or riding trails in Avon, here's what you need to know:
Cyclists have the same road rights as vehicles. That means drivers must give at least 3 feet of clearance when passing (Connecticut law).
Common bicycle accidents we see: dooring (car door opened into cyclist's path), right-hook turns, and failure to yield.
If you're hit while cycling, document everything. Photos of the scene, driver info, witness contacts. And don't give insurance statements before getting guidance.
Ride safe, Connecticut.
