SAFETY MESSAGE

March is Florida Bicycle Month

Did you know that 60% of Florida’s population lives within one mile of bicycle facilities? Everyone has the expectation, and right, to arrive at their destination safely no matter what mode of transportation they use.

When driving, stay alert and watch for pedestrians and bicyclists especially at night.
When riding at night, always use a headlight, taillight, and reflectors. Wearing light-colored or reflective clothing can also make you more visible during dark or dusk hours.
