Sumner County Sheriffs Office
The Pedal for Paws routes are primarily on public roads where cyclists must mix with normal automotive traffic. The Sumner County Sheriff’s officers are extremely concerned with rider safety. They identified particularly hazardous areas where they station well marked patrol cars, going so far as to activate their blue lights when needed. Sheriff officers are a big reason no unpleasant car and bicycle interactions have been reported in several years. A joint meeting of county officials and local cyclists led to the creation of a special Sumner County Sheriff cycling jersey riders wear to show mutual support between cyclist and officers.
