A FEW WORDS ON ROAD ETIQUETTE
Yes, there are rude drivers who endanger bicyclists, but there are also rude and self-centered bicyclists who give the rest of us a bad reputation. The conflict between the two forms of transportation have caused some road rage, or at least the display of some impolite hand signals. Perhaps I am preaching to the choir, but I would like to make two suggestions:
- At 4-way stop intersections I have often experienced the very generous drivers who wave and allow us to cross. Be sure to wave back and show your appreciation. And if they don't wave you across, let them go first. I believe that small gesture will do wonders.
- When traveling in a group, ride single-file when there are cars present. When someone yells "car back"please get in single-file as quickly as possible.
Note: All riders should arrive in sufficient time prior to the start time in order to leave on time.
