How to be a Predictable Rider

in

Ride etiquette and safety has been a topic of conversation at several of our rides recently, so I’ve taken a fresh look at the riding etiquette and safety tips on our web site, and I’d like everyone to read it. This bit of wisdom was written by Mike Munk, a ride leader for 22 years. Following his 13 “rules” will make you a better and safer rider.

On our rides, everyone’s safety is a primary concern and knowing how to safely ride in a group is key. We all know a few riders who we prefer not to follow, because they are not steady and unpredictable. Are you someone that others try to avoid? To help you improve, GCN has a short video on how to properly hold the wheel of the rider in front of you, and a related video about how to ride in a paceline.
