If you are on a bike, please yield to pedestrians on the trails. In 2012, a senior woman was sent to the hospital with multiple broken ribs and a broken collar bone as she was struck from behind by a boy on a bicycle who was riding without a helmet and travelling too fast. Thanks for enjoying our trails safely!
