Mutual Respect: Cars and Bicycles Sharing the Road

Village Manager Andy Pederson offers some tips for safe travels when bicyclists and vehicles are sharing the village roadways.

The weather has turned, and that means it's perfect for getting out and enjoying everything Bayside has to offer, including walking and biking through the village.  While all forms of traffic are welcome, we ask that everyone practice safe habits, and respect other users of the road. 

When possible, we ask bikers to please ride single file on the narrower, interior roads, to help ease traffic congestion, and to ride quietly and as you live there.  Vehicles should also give bicycles plenty of room, and to acknowledge their place on our streets. 

With everyone working together, we know everyone can enjoy the great weather, and beautiful scenery Bayside has to give. Safe travels!
