Lots of youngsters are honing their biking skills on our narrow roads- including some still on training wheels. And... golf carts are proliferating and at times erratic. Please- drive with care and observe our 20 mph (or less) village speed limit.
Bikes are required to have headlamps and rear reflectors after dusk.
