Bicycling is an effective and inexpensive way to improve your physical fitness while reducing air pollution and fuel consumption.You can save money by bicycling instead of driving—on gasoline and by reducing wear and tear on your vehicle. In some cases, automobile insurance costs may be lower due to reduced vehicle mileage.

- Bicycle route maps and safety brochures are available from the City of Roseville Alternative Transportation Division by calling (916) 774-5293, or mailing transportation@roseville.ca.us.
- Most employers offer secure bicycle parking facilities: bicycle lockers or bicycles racks.
- Some employers have showers and lockers available for employees who bike to work.
- Bicycle to work as often as possible – even one or two days a week can make a difference.

Bike Detection Loop Locations
Bike detection loops communicate to a traffic signal that a bicyclist is stopped in the bike lane. The traffic light will then change for the bicyclist to ride through the intersection—similar to how traffic lights operate for automobiles. Roseville's Engineering staff has been adding bike detection loops to new intersections in the city since November 2005.
