Group ride tips and etiquette
- Communication is key – Point out hazards in the road, signal when you are stopping or turning, and call out “car back” or “car up” if a car is coming up behind or in front of the group.
- Follow the rules of the road – Keep everyone safe by following local traffic laws for cyclists.
- Be prepared – Bring a spare tube and tools needed in case you get a flat and a bike lock any time you leave your bike unattended. Cyclists are required by law to have front and rear lights before sunrise and after sunset.
- Know the route – Way to Go will regroup at turns or after any steeper hills, but knowing the route is helpful in case you decide to ride back on your own.
