Guidelines for bicycle racing on state highways.

The Bicycle Racing Guidelines were developed as a cooperative effort between WSDOT, the Washington Bicycling Advisory Committee, and the Washington State Patrol to provide guidance for the safe and efficient operation of competitive cycling events on Washington state highways.

Slow down – lives are on the line.

Drive the posted speeds, they’re there for your safety.

Phone down, eyes up.

Pay attention – both to workers directing you and to surrounding traffic.

Stay calm

Expect delays, leave early or take an alternate route if possible; no appointment is worth risking someone’s life.
