Question of the week: Do I need disc brakes? I don’t know Kent, try riding in wet conditions then tell me. Plenty of people still debating this, but a lot of manufacturers are making the decision for us. Personally as a heavier rider, I love em. Safety Tip of the Week: Don't drink and ride. Might as well start off the safety tips with an obvious one. Riding while impaired increases your chances of not having a good ride. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
When riding with us: | ||
· wear helmets and ensure your bike is in good working order | ||
· stay in bike lanes and no more than two abreast on them; single file otherwise | ||
· do not overlap wheels | ||
· descend carefully! Look out for debris, animals, potholes, tight bends, and slick spots | ||
· pass slower riders on the left | ||
· ride predictably: signal when changing lines and call out hazards | ||
· avoid bunching up | ||
· respect all traffic rules and the rights of motor vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians | ||
· Inclement weather policy: In the interest of safety, whenever it is either actively raining or the ride route has wet roads, it is our club policy to cancel a club ride. Club members may still choose to meet and ride in these conditions; however, the ride will not be considered an official club ride. | ||
