REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION OF S NEVADA
BE VISIBLE & DRESS APPROPRIATELY
• Bicycles riding at night must have a white headlight in the front visible from at least 500 feet away and a red tail reflector visible in a vehicles low beams from 300 feet away
• Wear bright clothing during the day and reflective clothing at night
• Always wear a hard-shell helmet whenever you ride; fit the helmet so the front is just above the top of the eyebrows
RIDE IN A STRAIGHT LINE
• Maintain a car door’s width away from parked cars
• Avoid dodging in between cars
• Watch for parked motorists swinging their doors open
TWO WAYS TO TURN LEFT
• 1) Like a pedestrian, ride straight to the far-side crosswalk and walk your bike across
• 2) Like a motorist, signal, move into the left lane and turn left
RIDE ON THE RIGHT • Ride on the right side of the road, in the same direction as traffic
• Never ride against the flow of traffic
BE ALERT
• Watch for cars pulling out and use caution when approaching driveways and parked cars
• Look back over your shoulder and scan the road behind you
STAY OFF SIDEWALKS
• Sidewalks are designed for pedestrians and not for bicyclists who are traveling faster than walking speeds
USE HAND SIGNALS
• Hand signals communicate with motorists what you intend to do; turns at stops require a hand signal for 100 feet beforehand

TRAVELING AROUND THE VALLEY Combining your modes of travel in the Las Vegas Valley continues to get easier with the growing number of bicycle lanes and dedicated bicycle paths throughout the region. The Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC) in cooperation with member entities, community partners and citizens, has made great strides towards improving bicycling conditions for Valley residents and visitors. Currently, there are more than 80 miles of bicycle routes, 180 miles of bicycle lanes and 100 miles of bicycle paths in Southern Nevada with the addition of many more planned for the future.
Conveying information to both cyclists and motorists on shared use travel behavior is essential to creating a safe cycling community. Over 98 percent of valley roadways are bicycle travel compatible and the RTC is continually working to improve the safety of riding for area cyclists.
SHARE THE ROAD Bicyclists have the same rights and the same responsibilities on the road as motorists. Cyclists must ride to the right unless they are preparing to turn left or are able to match the speed of traffic. Cyclists must obey all traffic signs and use hand signals for turns and stops. To create public awareness of shared use travel, the RTC installed approximately 1,200 “Share the Road” signs on the adopted bicycle routes throughout the valley. All shared use travel facilities have at least 14 feet between the lane line and the lip of the curb, plus a 1.5-foot wide gutter pan.
RTC VIVA BIKE VEGAS GRAN FONDO RTC Viva Bike Vegas gives cyclists the opportunity to see the “Entertainment Capital of the World” from a perspective few get a chance to do. The event features several rides varying in length to accommodate beginning bikers, seasoned pros and anyone who wants to enjoy the atmosphere of an exciting community-wide event promoting alternative modes of transportation, a safe cycling community, and a healthy lifestyle choice.
The course traverses the valley and is designed to expose riders to the “adventurous” side of Las Vegas with its beautiful scenery, stunning vistas, and colorful mountainscapes. Riders enjoy challenging courses with police escorts providing rolling closures on some city streets.

Upon return from the ride, cyclists are greeted by a festival of friends, family, and other road riders who all participate in day-long events such as, a children’s bicycle training/obstacle course, numerous games and activities, and food and local vendor booths.
RTC Viva Bike Vegas fosters community partnerships and benefits local charities. For more information on the event, visit rtcsnv.com.
RTC TRIP PLANNER Powered by GoogleThe RTC’s interactive Transit Trip Planner makes it easier to combine your commute modes by allowing you to plan personalized trip itineraries on all RTC transit without using a transit guide. Simply input your origin, destination, desired departure or arrival time and the RTC Trip Planner will show you how to get to your desired locations using RTC transportation. The system will provide you with locations of vehicle stops and transfers, walking directions and distances, travel times, total costs, maps and step-by-step directions that can be printed from your computer.
BICYCLE WITH TRANSIT All RTC transit vehicles serving the Las Vegas Valley are equipped with bicycle racks. Each bike rack on the RTC’s fleet can accommodate up to two bicycles and newer vehicles can carry three. The RTC’s public transit system carries more than 60,000 bike trips each month. There is no additional cost to bring your bicycle along for the ride.
CLUB RIDE Club Ride Commuter Services is a free program from the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC) designed to help reduce traffic congestion, improve air quality and mobility, encourage the use of commute alternatives, and ultimately create a more sustainable community. To accomplish these goals, Club Ride works with employers and commuters in the Las Vegas Valley to establish programs that offer custom commute options and incentives for commuters to try new modes of transportation to get to work. Through the Guaranteed Ride Home program, the EZ Rider transit pass program and Club Ride Rewards, Club Ride Commuter Services annually offers thousands of employees and commuter’s time and money-saving solutions for a better commute in Southern Nevada. Club Ride: it’s free, it’s easy, it’s rewarding!
BONNEVILLE TRANSIT CENTER
LOADING YOUR BICYCLE As the transit vehicle approaches, please have your bicycle ready for loading. Remove water bottles, pumps or any loose items that might fall off when the bus is in motion. Inform the driver before stepping out in the street to load your bicycle onto the rack.
UNLOADING YOUR BICYCLEFor safety reasons, it is very important to tell the driver before unloading your bicycle. Riders are responsible for the loading and unloading of their bicycles. Sorry, no tricycles, tandem or motorized bicycles can be placed on racks.
BIKE TRAFFIC SIGNS
Before riding the streets cyclists should be familiar with the different roads signs throughout the valley. Listed below are traffic signs that communicate important messages to both motorists and cyclists on shared use travel.
Located inside the Bonneville Transit Center (BTC) in Downtown Las Vegas, the new Bike Center is an indoor bike valet, shop and repair facility that provides parking for up to 75 bikes and free lockers for cycling commuters. Whether you’re riding your bike to come downtown or using it to access transit, the Bike Center is a safe and secure place to park your ride. The Bike Center includes a bike shop with parts and accessories along with staff available to answer questions and make any needed repairs. Members also have access to restrooms and private showers that are secured for their exclusive use and located within the Bike Center.
Periodically, we also host free clinics, such as how to repair flat tires and safety tips for bike commuting, as well as events to encourage ridership.
• Register at www.rtcbikecenter.com or in-person at the Bike Center
• Open daily. Visit rtcsnv.com for more information.
• Separate restrooms and private showers available to freshen up
• Periodic clinics on bike maintenance, flat repairs, safety tips
• Safe and secure place to store your ride while working or playing in downtown
BIKE LANE
Bicycle racks are located inside rapid transit vehicles and can hold up to two bicycles.
TRANSPORTING YOUR BIKEAs you lift the metal handle, pull down the bicycle rack.
Before loading your bicycle onto the rack, ensure the rack is pulled down flat and positioned parallel to the ground.
Lift your bicycle onto the rack. Position your bike in the slots closest to the vehicle when available.
Fit both the front and back tire into the appropriate slots labeled “front wheel here” and “back wheel here.”
Pull the hold down bar out and place over your front tire to secure your bicycle on the rack.

WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?Currently, there are more than 65 miles of bicycle routes, 280 miles of bicycle lanes and 181 miles of bicycle paths.
The Regional Bicycle Plan recognizes the following Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) definitions for a bicycle route, a bicycle lane and a shared-use path:
Bicycle RouteA signed shared roadway is designated by placing signs along the roadway, indicating it is a preferred route for bicycle use. Bicycle routes are designated on roadways that have a wide curb lane of at least 14 feet or greater between the lane line and the lip of the curb, plus a1.5-foot-wide gutter pan.
Bicycle LaneA bicycle lane is a portion of a roadway that has beendesignated using striping, signing, and pavement markings for the use of bicyclists. The width of the bicycle lane is set at a 4-foot minimum from the bicycle lane strip to the edge of the pavement, plus a 1.5-foot-wide gutter pan.
Shared-Use PathA shared-use path is a bikeway physically separated from motorized vehicular traffic by an open space or barrier and either within the highway right-of-way or within an independent right-of-way. Pedestrians, skaters, wheel-chair users, joggers, and other non-motorized users also may use the shared-use paths. The minimum width for a shared-use path is 12 feet of paving for bidirectional travel, with a minimum 2-foot shoulder on both
Bicycle Compatible Street/RoadA bicycle-compatible street or road has at least 14 feet or greater between the lane line and the lip of the curb, plus a 1.5-foot-wide gutter pan that can accommodate shared lane travel between motorists and cyclists.
