Trail Etiquette

When using rail-trails be sure to be considerate of other trail users and local landowners.

Be safe--always wear a helmet!!

Always ride single file when meeting other riders or when being overtaken. Courtesy takes precedence over conversation with your riding companion.

Ride in a straight line. This is especially difficult for children, so remind and encourage your children not to weave around on the trail.

When stopping along the trail always park your bike off the travelled portion of the trail if you can, or as far to the right as possible. Remind your group not to block the trail when stopping.

When overtaking other trail users, call out a warning, such as "passing on your left" or use a warning device such as a bell. Be especially careful when passing children as they are easily startled and may swerve in front of you.

Don't litter!
