A few tips for our riders as you embark on the No Baloney Bicycle Ride:
- Helmets are required for all No Baloney Bicycle Ride participants. No exceptions.
- Riders must obey all traffic laws. Remember cyclists have the same rights as motorists.
- Riders should ride on the right side of the road with the flow of traffic.
- Be courteous and predictable! Let other riders and motorists know your intentions. Use hand signals when approaching turns. When passing other riders, a quick, “Passing on your left”, is recommended.
- Be visible. Wear bright colored clothing. Use head lights and tail lights.
- If riding in large groups, ride no more than two riders abreast. This allows for motorists and other riders to pass your group safely.
