Subject: [CKcycle] Important Reading Material - Group Riding Techniques &Laws
Here is a refresher that I had sent last year regarding Group Riding Techniques.
All can be found on the Ottawa Bicycle Club pages who are listed in provincial Learn to Bike/Race reputable programs.
I suggest people read the following pages...
http://www.ottawabicycleclub.ca/group-terminology << Explains what are your responsibilities when in certain position of the pack of riders (Front or at the back)
http://www.ottawabicycleclub.ca/group-manoeuvres << Proper rotation to not clog up the road way but for some reason many feel uncomfortable with this rotation.
http://www.ottawabicycleclub.ca/decision-matrix << When to ride double file or single file
http://www.ottawabicycleclub.ca/bicycles-and-equipment << The last 2 sections are important to keep in mind for the safety of other riders.
And finally Cycling and the Law, extra curricular reading if you wish...
http://www.ottawabicycleclub.ca/pockethta << Cyclist Pocket Guide to Ontario Highway Traffic Act **THIS ONE IS FOR YOU JAMES L :-) **
Cheers everyone... don't worry not much reading here...
Cheers everyone and happy reading if you get the chance.
