🚲✨ Looks like the bike path on Walnut just got a fresh paint job—looking good, Garden City! 🌟 Big thanks to everyone who helps keep our community active, safe, and connected. 💙

Here are a few quick reminders for bike path safety:
✅ Always share the path—be courteous to walkers, runners, and other riders.
✅ Use hand signals when turning or stopping.
✅ Wear a helmet and make sure your bike has reflectors or lights.
✅ Stay alert—no earbuds blasting, so you can hear what’s happening around you.
✅ Slow down at intersections and yield to pedestrians.

Let’s keep Garden City rolling safely and smoothly! 🚴‍♀️💨
