KNOW AND OBEYALL TRAFFIC LAWS

OBEY ALL TRAFFIC SIGNS & SIGNALS

The golden rule of bicycling in a group is be predictable!

Avoid “following the leader” through traffic signs and signals.

BE VERBAL! Communicate during the ride to let others know about hazards or your movements.

STAY RIGHT!Ride in the right portion of the rightmost lane in the direction you are traveling. Leave at least 4 feet between your handlebars and parked cars, other hazards or riders.

LOOK & SIGNAL

UNPLUG

Avoid “following the leader” through traffic signs and signals.

Headphones or ear buds are NOT permitted. This is so you can hear traffic and safety warnings.

TIMEAT A 2

Ride no more than two abreast and do not impede traffic.

“CAR BACK” This means a car is approaching from the

rear. All riders make an effort to move to the right of the road in a single file until the car passes.

“GRAVEL / POTHOLE / SAND / TRACKS” Each of these messages is to alert the rider behind you of

hazardous road conditions. The words are combined with the gesture of pointing to the hazard well in advance.

R R

“ON YOUR LEFT” Call this out before you pass someone.

If you hear it, a rider is approaching your left side. Allow them room to pass.

“SLOWING” The cyclist in front of you is slowing

down. Use caution and prepare to stop. Use the palm of your hand toward riders behind you to indicate slowing and stopping.

“STOPPING” This indicates that a rider

ahead is stopping. Do not forget to unclip from your pedals.

STOPSLOW

KNOW THE RULES OF THE ROADThe safety of our cyclists is the number one priority at Bike MS. Help us by knowing the rules of the road and following safe riding practices.

BE SAFEAND HAVE A GREAT RIDECYCLING SAFETYOur focus is to provide a high-quality, safe and fun ride. While we do an enormous amount of planning to provide for your safety, we ask that you do your part prior to the ride by visiting our Bicycle Safety Page at MScycling.org. Here you will find cycling manuals, safety videos, safe cycling tips and more.

RIDE SAFE. RIDE SMART. Please be aware of and prepared for railroad crossings on both days of the ride.

BIKE MS® SAFETY POLICYShould a cyclist choose to behave, act or ride in a manner that is endangering themselves or others, Ride Officials and State Patrol officers have been instructed to remove their bib and wristband, and prohibit them from continuing on the ride.
