Objective

The annual bicycle ride raises funds to assist those who cannot afford eye exams, glasses, and other visual assistance. Along with raising funds to help those less fortunate, the bike ride promotes safety awareness, exercise for good health, family participation, and something for those people whom just want to support the communities in which they live.

Safety F.I.R.S.T.

Be Bicycle Safe and Wise

Ride on the Right Hand Side of the Road

(With Traffic)

WHY - Most Drivers are Looking for CARS not BICYCLES. Drivers will, most of the time, FIRST Look to the Left when entering an intersection. IF YOU ARE NOT RIDING WITH TRAFFIC IT IS EASY FOR DRIVERS NOT TO SEE YOU. Also - IT'S THE LAW!!!!!

Hand Signals
