With temps in the triple digits in DC, staying hydrated and keeping cool is top priority! We provide our team with CamelBak wearable waterbottles.

No need to lug around cumbersome bottles, or keep up with where we last put it down when we're on the move. And as a company, we're always on the go! Sometimes, it's the little things that make a big impact.

Stay cool, stay safe, and stay alert on those DC roads friends!

Ever heard the term 'gore' in the world of road marking? Let's break it down!

The gore denotes no drive zones, traffic transitions, lane separation (space between bike and drive lane for example) or to alert drivers to an upcoming obstruction in roadway. 🚧

Why is it important? Well, this simple marking plays a crucial role in keeping our roads safe and traffic flowing smoothly. By clearly defining these merge zones, we're helping drivers navigate these areas with ease, reducing the risk of accidents and congestion. 🚗💨

From center lines to crosswalks to those essential gores, we're committed to keeping our roadways safe and efficient for drivers, cyclists and pedestrians.

Let's keep those roads safe together!
