Share the Trail - Cyclists

Cyclists, if you ride on the Meewasin Trail remember: The paved pathways are there for everyone to share. Treat others on the trail as you'd like to be treated by drivers when you're cycling on the street.

When you pass someone, it's your responsibility to do it safely. Watch out at curves and hills. Keep your speed down and warn pedestrians and others well before you pass.

Bicycle Commuting

Cyclists, if you ride on the Meewasin Trail, remember: The paved pathways are there for everyone to share.

Biking to work is fun and great exercise. It even helps reduce stress on the job. Keep everyone's stress levels low by keeping your speed down and warning others before you pass.

If you like to ride fast or need to get somewhere in a hurry, use the streets. It's safer and gets you there faster.
