Group Riding Done Right
written by sideout
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.
