Bicycles are considered vehicle, and are required to follow traffic laws.
*To the operaters of motor vehicles, please be mindful of bicycles operating on the roadway.
*To those operating bicycles, please remember to follow traffic laws, drive on the right side of the roadway, and come to a complete stop at stop signs. Bicycles are also required to stop for school buses loading and unloading children.
