Share the Road Safely During Community Bike Rides
The Worcester County Bike and Pedestrian Coalition will hold the last of 3 community bike rides to celebrate National Bike Month in Pocomoke City on Saturday, May 22 beginning at 12 noon. The six mile loop will begin and end at Newtowne Park. Experienced riders with helmets are invited to join the free event. There will also be a ride in the park for younger children. For more information or to register email: sholland@pocomokemd.com
With the return of warmer weather, beach visitors, and increased number of public
events, more people will be walking and biking along trails and roadways. The Coalition reminds drivers, bikers, and pedestrians to follow guidance from Maryland Department of Transportation to BE STREETWISE every day.
Motorists:
Look for people walking and cycling, especially at intersections.
Yield to bicyclists when turning.
Allow 3 feet of room when passing bicyclists. It’s the law in Maryland!
Watch for approaching bikes before opening your car door.
Maintain full attention when driving to avoid distracted driving.
Bicyclists:
Ride with the traffic on the right side of the road.
Stop at all red lights and stop signs.
Use hand signals when turning and audible alerts when passing.
Stay visible with reflectors and bright clothing.

tkforppe says: I had Sarah Dallas for first grade. There was a fire in that old school building that year (1948-1949) and we were off school for a while. Julia Robertson was my teacher in third grade although she apparently taught second grade during most of her career. Incidentally, my second grade teacher was Miss Mary Moore at the start of the school year and she became Mrs. Klein Leister during that school year.
