Don’t forget to ring! A public awareness initiative for safer cycling on The Confederation Trail

Ringing your bicycle bell is a small gesture of respect that makes shared outdoor spaces more enjoyable for everyone. A bell ring alerts pedestrians of a rider’s presence and serves as a courteous heads-up, preventing sudden surprises, collisions, and injuries.
