This booklet was prepared to help adult bicyclists and parents of
younger bicyclists understand how to ride safely and legally on the
streets, roads and highways of Oregon. This manual condenses and
paraphrases language in the Oregon Revised Statutes. It also
provides safety advice not included in the law. This manual is not a
proper legal authority to cite and should not be relied upon in a court
of law. Traffic regulations in cities, towns and counties may go beyond
state laws, as long as they do not conflict with state law.
For a complete copy of the statutes relating to bicycling, please
consult the Oregon Vehicle Code, available at your local library. Most
of the statutes relating to bicycling are found in Chapter 814 of the
Oregon Revised Statutes.

style of riding. For this audience, ODOT publishes a booklet called
“Say, you’re not from this planet, are you?”. It’s available at the above
address.
