🚴‍♀️ E-Bikes Are Growing in Popularity – Ride Smart, Ride Safe! 🚴‍♂️
E-bikes can be a fun, efficient way to get around town, but safety should always come first.

✅ Wear a helmet every ride.
✅ Obey all traffic signs and signals.
✅ Yield to pedestrians on sidewalks and shared-use paths.
✅ Use lights and reflective gear when riding at night.
✅ Stay alert and avoid distractions such as phones or headphones.

‼️Remember: In Wisconsin, e-bikes are generally treated the same as traditional bicycles, which means riders have the same rights and responsibilities on the road.

Let's work together to keep our streets, sidewalks, and trails safe for everyone.

Whitewater comes alive when our community steps outdoors. Today invites exploration and simple moments that spark joy: chalk art on the sidewalk, a spontaneous game in the yard, a quiet walk under the trees, laughter shared in our parks.

Let’s celebrate the spaces that bring us together, the creativity sparked by fresh air, the wonder that comes from unplugging and being present.

Here’s to a day filled with the vibrant spirit of Whitewater. 🌞💚🎉
