Gear Up for Safety

🚧 Stay on Designated Paths: Avoid restricted areas or private property.
🛑 Yield to Pedestrians: Slow down, announce yourself ("Passing on your left!"), and give space.
🚴 Group Riding: Maintain a safe distance between riders (at least 1 bike length) to avoid collisions.

Exercise Station Safety

💪 Clear the Zone: Move bikes and gear off the trail before starting exercises.
🔄 Mind Your Surroundings: Watch for uneven terrain, roots, or obstacles during workouts.
⏱️ Share the Space: If others are using the area, take turns or modify exercises to avoid crowding.

Respect Nature & Others

🌿 Leave No Trace: Pack out trash, avoid disturbing wildlife, and stay on marked trails.
🔇 Keep Noise Down: Avoid blasting music—opt for headphones if needed.
