CYCLING SAFETY TIPS:

• Get your bike checked out and tuned up if needed before Ride Day by a local bike tech or professional bike shop .
• Don’t forget your helmet.  Every time you ride, you should wear a helmet.
• Wear bright and/or reflective clothing, even in the day time hours.
• Avoid wearing headphones so as to stay alert at all times.
• When riding with others, ride single file at all times, with the exception of passing.
• When passing, call out “On Your Left” when passing and make sure that you LOOK BEHIND you before pulling out to pass.
• Follow the rules of the road, as if you were driving a car.
• Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate!  Please make sure you are drinking both water and sports drink during your rides.
• If you’re not sweating and you’re not peeing, you are NOT hydrated!
