We ❤️ bus lanes. Because sometimes the best view is traffic… from the lane that keeps moving. 🙂

🚲 Cruising the Rio Grande Trail? Slow down, ring your bell, and use your voice: “On your left” or “Passing.” What feels slow on a bike may feel fast to someone on foot. Let’s keep our shared trails safer and more welcoming for everyone. slowandsayhello.co
