Simple guidelines to help everyone enjoy a safe, comfortable ride on the Pine Creek Rail Trail.
Ride Responsibly
✅ Ride at a comfortable, controlled speed
✅ Adjust your speed for trail and weather conditions
✅ Keep both hands on the handlebars
✅ Stay aware of other trail users
E-bikes are quiet and faster than traditional bikes. Riding predictably and in control helps keep the trail safe for everyone.
Share the Trail
✅ Stay to the right and pass on the left
✅ Use a friendly bell or greeting when passing
✅ Yield to pedestrians
✅ Slow down in busy or narrow areas
The Pine Creek Rail Trail is a shared-use trail enjoyed by walkers, runners, families, and cyclists. Courtesy goes a long way.
Ride in Control
✅ Pedal assist is encouraged
✅ Avoid sudden acceleration near others
✅ Ride single file when the trail is busy
✅ Limit distractions and keep your hearing clear
Motor assistance should support your ride — not surprise other trail users.
Helmets & Visibility
✅ Helmets are required for minors
✅ Helmets are strongly recommended for adults
✅ Wear bright or visible clothing

Helmets are included with every rental, and we’re happy to help with proper fit.
Respect the Trail
✅ Stay on the designated trail surface
✅ Do not create new paths or cut switchbacks
✅ Move off to the side if you stop for a break
✅ Keep the trail clear for others
Protecting the trail helps preserve it for future riders.

Stay on Designated Bike Routes
✅ Use the paved rail trail and designated bike paths
✅ Avoid horse and wagon paths
✅ Be cautious of uneven surfaces between trail sections
Horse and wagon paths are designated for equestrian use and may contain uneven terrain and natural debris. These areas can be unstable for bikes—especially trikes—and include a raised or uneven surface between trail sections.
