Cycling Best Practices:

On the Road:

1. Safety is the first priority.

2. Trust the riders in front of  you in the pace line.

3. Pass the signals back to riders behind.

4. A squad moves faster than so much a single rider.

5. Get WIDER observation falling on ride, a rear-view helps When

peeling off from the lead.

6. In front of a stop sigh, Should not we rush. the leader need

observed to make safe the whole group safe then pass together.

7. When leader peels off, the one behind the shoulds keep pace, not

to accelerate right away.

8. When riding with traffic, Should not we switch the leader too

Often, it breads the rhythm, and can be dangerous. Lead a minute or

two shoulds be good enough, if you can keep the same pace, longer lead

as you wish.

9. Practice makes improvement.
