The Code of Iowa states bicyclists have the same rights and duties of the operators of vehicles. This means you can use the roadways, but you must follow the traffic rules. Just because you are on RAGBRAI doesn't mean the rules are suspended. These are public roads that are open to trucks and cars. Attention to the traffic laws could save your life.

The most fun on RAGBRAI comes from the people. You can ride across Iowa whenever you want, but only during one week, can you ride with 10,000 friends. Keep in mind that 30% of the riders are new and have never ridden in a crowd this large before. There are a few key tips to avoid crashes, like do the RIGHT riding.

People who ride RAGBRAI do so at their own pace. No matter who you are, you are going to pass another rider or you will be passed by another rider. Communication is essential, especially when starting, stopping or passing. Most crashes on RAGBRAI involve two or more bicycles and most are the result of riders not letting others know of their intentions.
