Bicycle Safety

One very important thing to practice is to share the road, bike paths and fire roads with all travelers – we share the road with cars, pedestrians and other bikers; on bike paths and fire roads, we share the routes with hikers, families with small children, other bike riders, and even horses. So, ride safely and be courteous!
