Safety first

Where to ride.

• Care for pedestrians. No riding on sidewalks unless local law requires or permits — it endangers members of our community who want to walk freely. We’re all in this together, so let’s be good neighbors and look out for one another.
• Ride in bike lanes or close to the right curb unless local or state law requires or permits.

Where to park.

• Park Birds out of the public right of way — keeping walkways, driveways, access ramps, and fire hydrants clear.
• Park Birds close to the curb, facing the street near designated bike or scooter parking areas, trees, or street signs.
• Make sure your kickstand is securely in the down position so that the Bird stays upright.
• Avoid uneven surfaces like grass, gravel, rocks, or inclines.

Rules of the road.

• Bird encourages all riders to wear a helmet when riding.
• You must be 18+ years old to Bird.
• Only one rider per vehicle.
• Follow all traffic rules including street signs and stop signs.
• Use caution at crosswalks

Use caution.

Be aware of surrounding traffic, especially at intersections.

• Always be aware of surrounding traffic, especially at intersections – cars are your biggest risk.
• Start off slowly while you get used to the accelerator and brakes.
• No one-handed rides. Put down the phone and coffee cup.
• No headphones – listen to what’s around you.
• Don’t ride if you’ve been drinking alcohol.
