Stillwater Cycling Safety
Written by Logan West
Tuesday, 30 August 2011
Cycling safety has been a
favorite subject of mine for a while, quite possibly because I and my
wife do a lot of commuting and shopping on bicycles. A while back I was
unsure of the cycling laws in Oklahoma so I looked them up and pulled
out the relevant list.
Click the link to download the document. I wrote up a
few pages on safety practices,
and perhaps more helpful included the list of relevant Oklahoma laws, and as a bonus, the laws specific to Stillwater.
I thought that this might be something that would be useful: as new riders come into Stillwater or the state, they might want to
know what's the law.
What better place to look than the local
cycling site? So here is the document.

Response to Tragedy - An Open Letter to the DAs of Oklahoma
Written by OBC Board of Directors
Sunday, 21 June 2009
The Board of Directors and the members of the Oklahoma Bicycling Coalition share the grief, sorrow, and anger felt by bicyclists all over the State of Oklahoma following the senseless deaths of Christa Voss and Matthew Edmonds.
The letter below (in a slightly different form) was sent to all Oklahoma District Attorneys in May during National Bicycle Month.
To: All Oklahoma District Attorneys
On behalf of the thousands of bicyclists in Oklahoma, the Oklahoma Bicycling Coalition (OBC) wishes to thank you for your efforts to protect all users of our streets and roads.
Foremost, under Oklahoma law, bicyclists have the same rights and responsibilities as all road users. As drivers of vehicles, bicyclists have the duty to obey all traffic laws while riding. Similarly drivers of motorized vehicles must treat bicyclists the same as other vehicular users of the road.
