Frequently Asked Questions
What is "dooring" and why is it dangerous?
Dooring happens when a driver or passenger opens a car door into the path of an oncoming cyclist who has little time to react. It can cause serious falls or throw a rider into traffic, and it remains one of the more common hazards cyclists face riding alongside parked cars.
How can cyclists stay safer in traffic?
Riding with the flow of traffic rather than against it, using lights and reflective gear, and taking the full lane where shoulders are narrow or obstructed can help drivers see and anticipate a cyclist's movements.
What should a cyclist do after a crash with a car?
Call 911, stay at the scene until authorities arrive, and get medical care even if injuries seem minor. Getting the responding officer's report number and any witness information can help later.
Do cyclists have the same road rights as drivers?
In Texas and most states, cyclists are generally entitled to the same rights and subject to the same duties as other vehicle operators, including the right to use travel lanes when necessary for safety.
