Bike Path Etiquette
The bike paths in Sunriver can get very crowded. Here are some tips when using the bike paths. These tips are for both bicyclists and pedestrians.
- Use the correct side of the bike path. Whichever direction you are heading, use the same side of the path a car would use on the street.
- Don't stop in the middle of the path. Move off the path or stay as close to the edge of the path as you can.
- Don't walk in the middle of the path. A cyclist coming along behind you may end up hitting you as they go by.
- Use your words. Let people know that you are coming up behind them by using voice commands, such as "On your left," or "On your right."
- Be aware of your surroundings. Keep your head up and be as equally aware of what is happening behind you, as well as in front of you.
- Prior to passing someone, look behind you, as someone might be trying to pass you.
- Keep dogs on a short leash and under your control.
- If you need to walk single file due to heavy traffic, do so. Be courteous.
