Making sure your bicycle has reflectors and a light isn’t just a good idea – it’s required by law. Without lights and reflectors, you are virtually invisible to drivers at night. The Oregon Department of Transportation reminds riders to lighten up with reflectors and lights, and wear reflective clothing. Ride safely, it’s the way to go.

You might not know that a number of DMV services can be impacted by winter weather. If you are planning to visit DMV, it’s always a good idea to plan ahead when winter weather might become a factor. If you have a drive test scheduled in snow and ice conditions, you might be required to have traction tires or chains for the test. If conditions are unsafe, you may even have your test rescheduled. It’s also possible that DMV offices may close due to unsafe conditions or lack of staffing when winter weather hits. Before you plan a visit, check our website at www.OregonDMV.com.

The good news is, winter weather doesn’t have to delay you from getting what you need at DMV! That’s because we have more than 20 transactions that can be done online at www.OregonDMV.com, no matter what the weather brings. So stay safe, check conditions, and take care of business from the comfort of home!

When the sun goes south for the winter, it doesn’t necessarily mean solitary confinement for the Schwinn. With a few precautions, bicycling in the winter offers the same benefits as fair-weather cycling, such as saving gas money, reducing highway damage (and therefore costs!), and using one less car parking space. Bicycling is also good for your health and great for the environment. Here are some tips from the Oregon Department of Transportation to make your winter cycling experience safe and successful:
