A Reminder For Motorists, Pedestrians & Bicyclists

June 03, 2024 Steve Schwaller

(Spencer)– Officials are reminding motorists to be extra vigilant of pedestrians and bicycles, especially when it comes to kids with schools being out for the summer. Likewise, Spencer Mayor Steve Bomgaars is also encouraging everyone to refrain from riding bicycles on sidewalks in the downtown areas of cities…

“It’s pretty hazardous. Bikes travel at a higher rate of speed, obviously, than the foot traffic. They can be kind of a menace, I think to that. Also, you know, you’ve got people coming out of stores and may not notice the bike.”

Officials add it’s also crucial for bicyclists to observe the rules of the road.
