Happy Bike to Wherever Day, Ann Arbor 🚲

This morning, our Michigan Bicycle Law team was out celebrating the riders who make Ann Arbor such a great biking city - whether you’re riding to work, school, or anywhere in between.

We love celebrating days like this that encourage more people to choose biking. And part of supporting Michigan cyclists also means making sure riders have the right information just in case the unexpected happens.

This resource walks through practical steps to take after a bicycle crash - from contacting police to protecting your legal rights.
