In the context of traffic rules, what term is used to describe the action of a cyclist when traffic is on the right?

• A. Riding on the left side of the road
• B. Walking the bike in traffic
• C. Riding on the sidewalk only
• D. Riding bike

Answer: (D)

Riding with traffic on the right is how cyclists participate in the flow of vehicles. The term that describes actively operating the bicycle in that situation is simply riding the bike. It reflects treating the bike as a vehicle and moving in the same direction as other traffic, which helps drivers anticipate your movements. Riding on the left would put you against the flow and is unsafe; walking the bike in traffic describes dismounting and moving the bike rather than riding; riding on the sidewalk takes you off the roadway and isn’t riding in traffic. So the best choice is riding the bike.
