Health

There are many health benefits related to cycling, hiking, walking, and jogging that the public needs to know about. They provide an excellent opportunity for physical activity to improve fitness and mental health.

Safety

Cycling and pedestrian activities are both rewarding and healthy but are associated with significant safety risks. Knowing the risks and understanding the safety measures associated with your chosen activity is the best way to prevent accidents. We encourage ALL cyclists and pedestrians in our community to familiarize themselves with the rules and courtesies that make cycling, hiking, running, and walking a safe and enjoyable activity in our region.

Below are links to websites and publications that address safety issues. Young or old, novice or experienced, a review of this information will benefit everyone who lives an active, healthy lifestyle.
