Bike Brochures

Bicycle Safety is a focus of the City of Auburn and the Auburn Bicycle Committee. Many brochures have been produced with valuable information for bicyclist and motorists. A kiosk at the east end of the Charlotte and Curtis Ward Bike Path contains these brochures about bicycle safety. You can also click on the links below to view them now.

The City of Auburn partnered with Auburn University to bring Auburn residents WaCaDa!, a public safety awareness campaign aimed at bicycle, pedestrian, and motor vehicle safety. WaCaDa! is designed to promote public safety, awareness, and a mutual respect of the road and safety rules. WaCaDa! is ultimately designed to remind all modes of transportation that we all Walk and Cycle and Drive alike in the loveliest village on the plains.

With WaCaDa's slogan, the campaign introduces a new set of the three R'3, "Respect, Relate, Remind". The WaCaDa! website has valuable safety and legal information for all roadway users.

The following brochures are provided by the Bicycle Helmet Safety Institute. They are available at the Charlotte and Curtis Ward Bikeway kiosk. They provide the pamphlets free for non-profit reproduction and distribution. Their website www.helmets.org contains valuable information about bicycling safety.

The Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has a Web server up with materials for teaching kids to ride safely, including a kids bike safety Web page. Their stuff is all free so check it out!
