SAFE RIDING IS IMPORTANT

Bicycle riding can be an enjoyable sport, a good form of exercise and a great way to spend time outdoors. However, like other activities, cycling should be done safely and sensibly.

The Cascades Cycling Club promotes safe cycling. Club rides are safety oriented. Cylists obey traffic rules and warn fellow cyclists of potential hazards. Riding as a group offers greater visibility to motor vehicle traffic.

We encourage the following precautions to ensure safe cycling:

• Always wear a helmet
• Wear bright, visible clothing
• Ride defensively
• Never assume you have the right of way
• Ride in a group whenever possible
• Always clearly convey your intentions to motorists

Learning the techniques and attitudes of safe cycling will enable you to enjoy countless hours of cycling fun.

See you on the road!
