## Important Reminders:

Cyclists are encouraged to bike single file on the right side of the road. There is no shoulder - you are biking on the same road as vehicles.

* Always wear a helmet. 
* Wear brightly colored clothes. 
* Fall season: neon yellow/green is a contrast against the fall foliage. 
* Spring season: bright corals, orange and blues show up best against new foliage. 
* Black and dark colors ARE NOT SAFE because you blend into pavement.
* Lights on the back and front of your bike.
