Motodisiac

Found this great article describing group riding etiquette, signals and rules.

I’ve ridden in small groups before and it is very important that everyone in a group knows these guidelines. We have been on a ride a couple of weeks ago where Motodisiac was a “lead bike” as he had a GPS system, a couple of riders from our group decided to pick up a faster pace and we ended up loosing them pretty soon. The end result - we took the scenic route back home. The speeding couple - uneventful freeway ride home.

Take your time go over these guidelines. Even if you don’t ride you might find them useful as they’ll give a regular automobile driver an idea of how a group of riders will maneuver on the road.

And here is my personal favorite:

TICKED OFF:
Extend your left arm straight out with your elbow bent 90 degrees. Carefully extend your middle finger to clearly demonstrate your dissatisfaction with the other guy. NOTE: It is not recommended you do this when you are alone.

Happy Monday everyone.
