ETIQUETTE
To promote safety, we encourage everyone - especially bikers, but also joggers, strollers, parents and children, dog walkers, and rollerbladers – to take care and be patient and courteous with other event participants when enjoying Ride the Drive. With a variety of different users traveling at different speeds, the best way to keep yourself and others safe is to remain alert and respect the people around you.ALL PARTICIPANTS
