🚲 Heads Up, Clay! Arrive Safe! 🛴
With students heading back to class this week, bike racks across Clay County are filling up fast! Whether you're riding a traditional bike, e-bike, or e-scooter, safety starts before you even step on the pedals.
Keep these quick tips in mind for a smooth ride:
Obey the Rules: Follow all traffic laws, stop signs, and signals.
Go with the Flow: Always ride with the flow of traffic, not against it.
Stay Alert: Ditch the distractions, look ahead, and watch for hazards.
Be Seen & Predictable: Use hand signals when turning or stopping so drivers know your next move.
Protect Your Brain: Wear a helmet—it’s Florida law for riders under 16!
⚡ E-Bike & E-Scooter Riders: Watch your speed and slow down near pedestrian zones and crosswalks!
Let’s make this school year the safest one yet! 🎒✨
