The leaves are beginning to turn and the weather no longer feels like summer.

There are easy precautions to make enjoying autumnal beauty on foot or bike a safe experience:  

• Wear bright clothing.
• If you're biking, slow down.
• Be especially careful when turning: wet leaves can be very slick.
• Always have your bike lights with you. Consider using a blinky light or reflectors when walking
• If you're biking, please wear a bike helmet and secure it well.
