Safety Message for the week

Wearing bright, visible colors while cycling is a simple but powerful way to increase your chances of being seen,
reduce the risk of collisions and stay safer on the road.  In sudden situations, like a car pulling out of a driveway or a
cyclist needing to swerve around a pothole, being instantly visible can mean the difference between a near miss and a serious accident. 

The best colors for visibility are neon/ fluorescent colors such as neon yellow, fluorescent orange, bright green and fluorescent pink.
Aside from fluorescent colors white, hot pink, bright red and lime green are good in low-light and evening riding. 
Avoid wearing black, dark blue, gray, dark green, and earth tones as these colors blend into the road, trees etc. 
Reflective materials are essential for nighttime rides.  Adding a reflective ankle band (movement attracts attention) is a very inexpensive,
quick way to increase visibility.  Here’s an Amazon option.

Please take these into consideration when it’s time to replace an item of clothing like a jacket, vest, jersey, or shorts. 

When riding with us, you will:

·      Use helmets and bike lanes! Call out hazards and ride predictably.

·      Avoid bunching up; don’t overlap wheels.

·      Keep a prudent distance and ride single file on narrow roads.

·      Ensure your bike is in good working order.

·      Descend carefully!

·      Pass slower riders on the left and signal when changing lines.

·      Respect traffic laws and the rights of motor vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians.

·      If the weather is inclement, we will cancel ALL rides.
