What is “BikeSafe”?

BikeSafe is a new bicycle safety campaign designed to educate the Thousand Oaks community about good riding and driving practices that help keep everyone safe on the road. The campaign will focuses on youth and adult cyclists, with an emphasis on the importance of riding with the traffic not against it.

What is a “sharrow”?Sharrow
A sharrow is a stencil of a bicycle with two chevron markings above it painted on the road in travel lanes that are too narrow to have a separate lane for bicycles.
