Riding bicycles on campus and in the community is an economical and enjoyable means of transportation. Listed below are three publications available to you from SISS that will help you understand your responsibilities as a bicycle owner/rider. Be sure to pay careful attention to the sections on traffic laws that apply to bicycle riders and automobile operators, as each year many people are seriously hurt in bicycle accidents on campus and in the community.

• The Davis Bike Map is a guide for safe bicycling on and off campus. This is published by BikeRight, UC Davis Transportation and Parking Services Bicycle Program, and the UC Davis Bicycle Safety and Injury Prevention Program.
• The "UCD Student Handbook and Calendar" (Look under the Transportation section).
• The Department of Motor Vehicle's "Driver Handbook" explains that bicyclists must obey the same laws as persons operating automobiles. You may obtain a copy of this publication from SISS or at the DMV office. Their office hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (753-6813). They are located at 505 Pole Line Road.

All bicycles used on the campus are required to have a valid California State Bicycle License. Licenses are available at the Transportation and Parking Services office on Extension Center Drive. Please call the Bicycle Program at TAPS (752-2453) for more information.

Stores where you can purchase bicycles are listed in the yellow section of the telephone book under "Bicycles". Used bicycles are advertised in local newspapers and on bulletin boards on campus and in the community. At the beginning of fall and spring quarters, the campus police department holds a bike auction. To find out the date and time, call the TAPS Bicycle Program at 752-2453.
