Bike laws are different all around the world. Here are bike laws in the United States of America.
The Meaning of Bike Markings on the Road
Sharrows, green bike boxes, bike blvds, oh my! Do you know what all the different signs signify? The Bike Alliance of Minnesota has an excellent web page with descriptions of every bike sign, where you're expected to ride and how you and motorists should behave.
Do you do the Idaho Stop?
Stopping, putting a foot down and then remounting your bike and pedaling away is pretty inefficient. Some riders roll through stop signs (this is called the Idaho Stop)...and in some places that's totally legal! Find out why some cities are trying to implement the Idaho Stop.

Triggering a Traffic Light with a Bike
If you've been stuck at an intersection for what feels like multiple light cycles, you might not be successfully triggering the Inductive Loop Sensors. The "Greensplainer" has you covered with tip for every kind of sensor on the road. Don't wait at a light forever!
