First, let’s understand some basic bicycle laws and rules. In California, bicycles are considered vehicles, and cyclists have similar rights and responsibilities as motorists. Here are some key bicycle laws that generally apply in California, including Ventura:

1. Helmet Requirement: California law requires cyclists under 18 years old to wear a properly fitted and fastened helmet while riding a bicycle. We have found this requirement to be extremely important in protecting our clients in both bicycle and motorcycle accidents.
2. Traffic Laws: Bicyclists must follow the same traffic laws as motorists, including stopping at red lights and stop signs, yielding to pedestrians, and using turn signals (e.g., hand signals) when appropriate.
3. Bike Lanes and Paths: Cyclists should generally use bike lanes when available, and if a designated bicycle lane is not present, they can ride on the right side of the road. However, local ordinances may have specific regulations regarding bike lanes and paths, including in Ventura.
4. Lighting and Reflectors: Bicycles must have a front white light and a rear red reflector or light when riding at night or in low-light conditions.
5. Riding Position: Cyclists should ride in the same direction as traffic and stay as close to the right-hand side of the road as practicable. However, they may move further into the lane when necessary, such as to avoid hazards or make a left turn.
6. Sidewalk Riding: California law generally allows cyclists to ride on sidewalks, but local ordinances can restrict or prohibit sidewalk riding in certain areas. It's advisable to check if there are any local rules, including those currently specific to Ventura.
7. Impaired Riding: Riding a bicycle under the influence of alcohol or drugs is illegal in California, and the same penalties as for driving under the influence (DUI) apply.

Remember that laws do change and vary by location, so it's always a good idea to consult local regulations or reach out to the Ventura Police Department or relevant authorities for the most accurate and up-to-date information on bicycle laws in Ventura, California.
