Rules of the Road and Path

For the best enjoyment when using the paths, please follow the rules listed:

  • Stay to the right of the path whenever possible.
  • Be courteous and aware of other users.
  • Yield and slow to others when entering, crossing, or turning onto a path.
  • Be predictable but expect other users – especially children, those wearing headphones, or talking on the phone – to be unpredictable.
  • Bicyclists, inline skaters, and skate boarders are strongly encouraged to wear a helmet.
  • If using a path with a group, do not block the entire path. Proceed single-file when necessary and announce upcoming hazards to the rest of the group.

If you must ride in the street:

  • Ride WITH traffic.
  • Ride single-file.
  • Ride as close to the right edge of the road as practical.
  • Follow all traffic signs and pavement markings as a car would.

Before You Ride

Before you go for a ride along any path in the area, it is important that your bike is in working order.

Please follow the check list below prior to starting on your adventure:

  • Inflate tires to the proper amount.
  • Make sure the wheels are securely attached to the bike.
  • Check to make sure the handle bars are secured and attached properly.
  • Make sure the brakes are working properly.
  • Make sure your bike is equipped for safety, which includes required reflectors on the wheels and pedals.
  • Be smart - wear a helmet! This may prevent you from being seriously injured in an accident.
