• Use your bell when passing — riders must alert others before passing slower users. Failing to do so can also result in an $81 ticket.
• Slow down when approaching others and pass on the left side.
• Obey trail signs and park closures.
• At night, all bicycles must have:
  • One or two front lights (white)a red tail light
  • A red rear reflector
• A person shall not ride a bicycle unless the bicycle has a brake.
• Safety helmets must be worn if the rider is under the age of 18.
