Bring a Bike Lock!

It is highly recommended that you bring a bike lock. Ensuring the security of your personal belongings whether its a camera, tool bag, panniers or your bike is up to each person. Lock it up, don't lose it!

Obey Traffic Laws And Wear A Helmet
Effective Cyclists Instructors offer some very important advice: "When you ride a bicycle on a public road, you must follow the rules of the road, give signals, obey signs and lights, yield the right of way and keep a sharp lookout for danger -- JUST LIKE CAR DRIVERS DO! It is essential that each rider takes responsibility for his or her safety and that they know that they represent all cyclists when they are on the road. Obey the traffic laws and cycling laws. Every person riding a bicycle shall be granted all the rights and shall be subject to all the duties applicable to the driver of a vehicle."

• Two abreast maximum. No packs of riders!

• Stop at all control devices. Don't get a ticket!
• Ride to the right of the road. It's safer!
• Look out for each other. Assist riders in need!
• PLEASE! No earbuds. Attentive riders are better riders.
• USE OF HELMETS IS MANDATORY.
