SAFETY TIPS:
Please try to ride with at least one other person. If you ride with a group, please try to limit the group size to no more than 10 riders. Large groups make it difficult for cars to pass, which may cause safety issues and is also inconsiderate to drivers. If you find yourself in a large group, consider backing off and trying to create another smaller group. Don’t ride several abreast making it impossible for cars to pass you. Be aware of traffic, and if a car starts to or wants to pass, get into single file immediately. Get at least 2 cell phone numbers from people in the group in case you get separated.
Please use proper etiquette and both hand and vocal signals
