Next time you’re downtown, park your bike there so we can keep it full year round, more bike parking is a great thing!

This is the third of our PSAs to encourage a safe sharing of the road between bicycles and cars.
Riding a bike can be great fun! Putting a smile on motorists faces, and reconnecting you with your neighborhoods. You’d be surprised how much more you notice when you’re riding at a bicycle’s pace. Being courteous to drivers is a great way to ensure a positive relationship with motorists in the future and making the road safer for all.

This is the second of our three PSAs to encourage a safe sharing of the road between bicycles and cars.
Remember, when riding with a buddy, move into a single file line if there is a vehicle behind you. This will help with the flow of traffic, as well as maintain a positive relationship between motorists and bicycles, something that will help make the road safer for everyone.

This is one of our three PSAs to encourage a safe sharing of the road between bicycles and cars. Remember, it’s always very important to remain visible on the road when you are on your bicycle, it is the best way to ensure that other vehicles see you and can go around you if need be.
