3 Foot Passing Law

โ€œThe operator of a vehicle overtaking another vehicle shall pass to the left at a safe distance and shall not again drive to the right until safely clear of the overtaken vehicle. When a motor vehicle overtakes and passes a bicycle, three feet or greater is considered a safe passing distance.โ€

Bike Solon is a resident-led advocacy group for people who bike in the Solon community. Bike Solon is a proud chapter of Bike Cleveland.

As a local chapter of Bike Cleveland, Bike Solon utilizes firsthand knowledge of the City of Solon and neighborhoods to identify local bicycle and pedestrian issues and come up with local solutions. Bike Solon cultivates community support through connections with local residents, leaders, and merchants. Bike Solon raises bicycle awareness in the City of Solon by hosting rides and fun events, advocating for better infrastructure and more bicycle parking, hosting safety courses, and a lot more!

More information about improvements to bicycle infrastructure and active transportation can be found in the Solon Connects Plan.

Bike Solon advocates to make our community a place where all people can safely and conveniently ride a bike to a park, school, library, restaurant, grocery store or anywhere else. Bike Solonโ€™s goal is for our community to have a safe and complete network of stress-free bicycle facilities that works for everyone.

If you are a resident of Solon, and are in need of a rental bicycle, you can take advantage of Solon Spins!
