Follow our six simple rules to keep the bad vibe demons out—
*STAY TO THE RIGHT – Let cars pass on the left most lane

*RIDE STRAIGHT – and predictabliy, avoid collisions
*DON’T HATE – Be good to each other, roll past conflict
*PACK YOUR TRASH- please find trash facilities and do not throw your trash on the floor!!!!!!!!!
