School is out for the summer, meaning kids are out exploring all things summer vacation. Many kids enjoy riding their bikes to the park to fish, play baseball or basketball with friends, and many other activities around the community.

It is important for drivers to keep an eye out for cyclists and to drive cautiously when near them. We would also like to remind all cyclist of some safety precautions when riding, such as wearing a helmet and wearing reflective/high visibility clothing.

The League of Michigan Bicyclists also has booklets “What Every Michigan Bicyclist Must Know” and “What Every Young Michigan Bicyclist Must Know” which are great resources for anyone riding a bicycle in Michigan. https://lmb.org/bike-mi/what-every-michigan-bicyclist-must-know/
