We’re heading into the most dangerous months of the year for bicyclists. 🚲⚠️ Sharing the road is a 2-way street.
Cyclists — ride defensively:
🚴 Stay visible
🚴 Ride with the flow of traffic
🚴 Be predictable
Drivers, remember to check:
🚗 Blind spots before changing lanes
🚗 Intersections before making a turn
🚗 Your mirror before opening your car door
