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

Speeding steals your reaction window. ⏱️

Don't trade your safety for a few measly minutes. Arrive late if you have to — just make sure you arrive.

Helmet on every ride 🪖🚴

During Bike Safety Month and beyond, wear a properly fitted helmet, stay alert, and ride smart. Drivers: slow down, watch for cyclists, and give them space on the road. 💚🚗
