🚲 Safety Token Program is Now LIVE! 🛴

Whether you're riding a bike, e-bike, or e-scooter, safety matters. The Polk City Police Department will watch for riders demonstrating safe behaviors, such as wearing a helmet, following traffic laws, staying alert, and respecting pedestrians and drivers.

Safety tokens can be redeemed for a prize at ONE of the following locations:

🍕 Papa's Pizzeria – One free mini pizza
🔋 P&M Apparel – One free power bank
🎁 Polk City Police Station – One free mystery item

Together, we can make safe riding a habit for riders of all ages.

Thank you for being responsible, respectful, and safe.

☕️✨ We were so glad to be back for this morning’s Coffee & Connections!

It was a great morning filled with new members, new faces, and new connections! 🤝🏻 We also had the opportunity to learn more about all the exciting changes coming to Rising Sun, and we can’t wait to see what’s in store!

Haven’t experienced the new menu items or had a chance to meet the new owner, Mari? We highly encourage you to stop in and check it out!

There are some exciting things happening, and we’re excited to support this next chapter. ❤️

Thank you to everyone who came out this morning to connect, network, and support one another. This is what community is all about! ☕️
