<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Utilizing the Earlham College bike share to ride a bicycle on the road means sharing the road with cars, tracks and motorcycles. That can be a scary thought, but if you ride smart<\/strong>, you can be safe and enjoy the ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bicycle Indiana<\/em> provides a few tips and reminders<\/a> to help you share the road with sense and safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
