Ohio Cycling Law changes

Changes governing Ohio bicyclists taking effect Sept. 21 include:

Preventing local governments from requiring cyclists to ride on sidewalks or from banning bicycles from certain streets, other than freeways.

Allowing bicyclists to ride on the left side of a lane to make a left turn, to stay out of a right-turn-only lane or to avoid potholes, road debris or stopped vehicles.

No longer requiring wheel and front reflectors.

No longer requiring cyclists to give a continuous turn signal.

Giving courts sentencing discretion, including remedial bicycle training.

Allowing cars to pass bicycles in no-passing zones under certain conditions.
