HELMETS: All riders are required to wear an ANSI/Snell/CPSC approved helmet while riding.

SAFETY: Ohio law regards the bicycle as a vehicle. The same rules that apply to motorists also apply to bicyclists. This means riding WITH traffic, obeying all stop signs and traffic lights and giving hand signals to indicate turns. Be courteous to pedestrians and motorists and move to the right in single file to permit vehicles to pass. Your Safety is your responsibility.
