Bike Safety & Education
Here at Farmers Branch Parks and Recreation, we work hard to improve our trail systems, minimizing risks for pedestrians and bicyclists. Educating yourself about bicycle safety is critical to the natural risks that go along with riding on trails or on the street.
Look Out Texans – Bike, Walk, Drive Safely
Look Out Texans is an education campaign aimed at increasing safety for all road users in North Texas.
Learn your rights and responsibilities when walking, biking or driving, and encourage your neighbors, friends and family to do so as well. Together, we can make our streets safer for everyone!
