How should bicycles ride concerning traffic?

With traffic
Against traffic
On sidewalks
In any direction

The correct answer is: With traffic

Bicycles should always ride with traffic to ensure safety and compliance with traffic laws. Riding in the same direction as vehicles allows cyclists to be more visible to motorists, reducing the risk of collisions. This positioning also enables cyclists to better anticipate the actions of drivers, fostering a predictable flow of traffic. Additionally, most jurisdictions have laws requiring cyclists to follow the same rules as motor vehicles, which includes traveling with the flow of traffic. Riding against traffic can lead to dangerous situations, as it places cyclists in the path of oncoming vehicles, which may not expect a bike approaching from that direction, increasing the likelihood of accidents.
