Full Breakdown
Edmond Code of Ordinances § 10.60.040 requires anyone riding a bicycle on a roadway, bicycle route, or bicycle lane to stay as near the right-hand side as practicable and use due care passing standing or moving vehicles. Riders may not travel more than two abreast on streets or lanes: only on designated shared-use paths/trails is riding two abreast (or more) allowed. Under the companion § 10.60.010, cyclists on the roadway hold all the rights and duties of a motor vehicle driver, so ignoring lane position or the abreast limit is a traffic violation, not just a courtesy lapse.
Violations & Fines
Riding more than two abreast on a street or bike lane, or failing to keep right, is a citable traffic violation under Chapter 10.60 of the Edmond Code.
