GROUP RIDING SUCCESS TIPS<br />
It is a good idea to have a meeting before any group ride to discuss the<br />
following items:<br />
• Review where you are going and what route will be taken.<br />
• Describe proper lane changing and what to do if the group splits<br />
apart.<br />
• Demonstrate and explain each hand signal. Make sure EVERYONE<br />
is using them.<br />
• Determine the riding experience of any new riders - always ride to<br />
the level of the least experienced rider.<br />
• Assign a ‘slot’ position to any new riders until the drag bike is<br />
satisfied with their abilities to handle their bikes.<br />
• Invite all the riders to do a ‘walk around’ of their bikes to be sure<br />
all is in order. Then, take a quick peek at the bikes on either side<br />
for the same reason.<br />
This approach to group riding is conservative, but it is the safest way to<br />
ensure that you enjoy tomorrow’s ride by surviving today’s.<br />
