Question of the week:  What is the proper call when sighting Greybird on PCH?   

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.
