We all know,or should know, that we should share the road with pedestrians and cyclists whenever we approach them. Sharing the road means safety for both parties.

Our society tells us that we live in busy times. With 4 kids all active with many activities, I totally believe the reports, but there has to be times that we need to slow down and enjoy the ride, right? I mean, speeding through busy roads and weaving throughout traffic doesn’t really help the situation,…
