BIKE SAFETY CAMPAIGN:
You can help make a difference by setting an example for cyclists and motorists. We ask each of you to follow the "5 Rules of the Road":
FOLLOW THE LAW
Your safety and image of bicyclists depend on you. You have the same rights and duties as drivers. Obey traffic signals and stop signs. Ride with traffic; use the rightmost lane headed in the direction you are going.
BE PREDICTABLE
Make your intentions clear to everyone on the road. Ride in a straight line and don't swerve between parked cars. Signal turns, and check behind you well before turning or changing lanes.
BE CONSPICUOUS
Ride where people can see you and wear bright clothing. Use a front white light, red rear light and reflectors when visibility is poor. Make eye contact with others and don't ride on sidewalks.
THINK AHEAD
Anticipate what drivers, pedestrians, and other people on bikes will do next. Watch for turning vehicles and ride outside the door zone of parked cars. Look out for debris, potholes, and other road hazards. Cross railroad tracks at right angles.
RIDE READY
Check that your tires have sufficient air, brakes are working, chain runs smoothly, and quick release levers are closed. Carry tools and supplies that are appropriate for your ride. Wear a helmet.
BABYSITTING AT LAKE GILMAN OWS
Babysitting is now available on-site for MHWTC members participating in open water swims at Lake Gilman (children must be potty trained). Two certified babysitters will take care of your children while you are swimming in the lake. The cost is $2 per child. Sign up is not required. NOTE: FOR THEIR OWN SAFETY, CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 13 ARE NOT PERMITTED TO ATTEND LAKE SWIMS UNSUPERVISED.
