CVC Members Meeting – October 13 at 7:00 PM
This one’s for EVERYONE! We’ll gather at The Hub in Westlake
to connect, share time together, and hear from some amazing speakers on high-interest topics. Details to come soon—don’t miss it!
This week’s Safety Message: Many of you have heard that it is safer to ride double (two abreast) than single, but do
you know why? The biggest reason is that it makes the group more visible from a distance, and it reduces the length of the group, making it easier (and faster) for cars to pass us on a two-lane road. Laws vary from state to state, but in California there
is no restriction on how many cyclists can ride abreast.
Here are examples of when not to ride double:
• If a lane is very narrow or where the right side of the road is hazardous. (ex: Old Topanga Road as well as most of the narrow canyon roads)
• If the road has continuous pavement hazards requiring cyclists to move laterally to avoid them. (ex: potholes, debris, sand or loose gravel near the shoulder or bike lane)
• On a wide bike lane or highway shoulder (ex: many places along PCH). If you are on the left edge of a bike lane and shoulder to shoulder with another cyclist, the options for either cyclist avoiding a hazard are limited.
• Never ride double (or even single) in a door-zone. Stay at least 4 feet away from parked cars. (ex: Triunfo Canyon after turning off Lindero)
• On bike paths. To pass pedestrians and other users you should not ride double on a dedicated bike path.
