Susan! Ash! Go Greybird! Are you a friendly rider, spreading happiness while you pedal? Relish in your time on the bike, and smile. Even on the most challenging days, there should be a smile under your helmet. Give a wave as you pass fellow cyclists. Give a thank you wave when cars stop for you. Sure, they have to stop, but it’s important to thank them for the effort. A new approach that my teen shared with me is the “thumbs up” whenever you feel like giving “the bird”. It confuses people, and diffuses many situations. Always try and be a good bike ambassador, it benefits us all. *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 · 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. -- Taylor Hodoose 805-390-2200
