Safety Tips and Guidelines from National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior,
National Seashore, Massachusetts
- Massachusetts state law requires children younger than 13 to wear protective helmets
when operating or riding as a passenger on a bicycle. It is advisable that all
riders, regardless of age, wear protective headgear.
- If you have an unfamiliar bike, check your brakes, gears and steering before entering a
trail.
- Ride single file and stay to the right. All trails have two-way traffic and heavy
traffic times.
- Use front and rear brakes together.
- Don't speed.
- Be alert for the unexpected (rollerblades, hikers, dogs, windblown sand).
- There are steep hills and sharp turns. Low areas sometimes flood; loose sand
sometimes covers trails.
- private property exists within the Seashore. Please respect owners' rights.
