Cycling-Cruisers

About the group

Organizer(s)

Mary Jansen

The Cruisers will ride every Wednesday for about 1.5 - 2 hours at an easy pace. Rides will follow back roads and trails around the Grey Highlands, Owen Sound, Meaford, Thornbury and Collingwood areas. Each week will feature a different ride location. 

Tips for safe riding:

   When we stop, choose the right place to do so, i.e.:

• Away from intersections
• Away from the top of hills
• Find a driveway or clearing so that no riders are stopped on the road

   On a busy road, ride single file in a group of 5 maximum.

   Know your hand signals, make them clear and definitive.

   Shoulder check is one of the forgotten safe riding skills, the other is to ride in a simple straight line.

    Be aware of hazards, road conditions, intersections.

    Stay alert at all times.

    The 3 R's:

• same Roads: You can and should use the roads, not the sidewalks.
• same Rights: You have the right to your space on the roads.
• same Rules: If you want respect, you need to follow the rules, you can't have it both ways!
