It's that time of year when Arkansas' beauty and trails bring out those who share a love of cycling. with more than two hundred miles of bike trails in Northwest Arkansas alone. Bicyclists are out in full force. 

There are also many bike lanes on some major roads and it's important for drivers and riders to safely co-exist.
