Rules of the Road reminder as the season changes

The League of American Bicyclist's six Rules of the Road will prepare you for a safe and fun bike commute this fall and always.  Here they are, again, as a reminder while the sun is setting earlier and earlier...

1. Follow the law.

Your safety and the image of bicyclists depend on you. You have the same rights and duties as drivers. Obey traffic signals and stop signs. Ride with traffic; use the rightmost lane headed in the direction you are going.

2. Be predictable.

Make your intentions clear to motorists and other road users. Ride in a straight line and don’t swerve between parked cars. Signal turns, and check behind you well before turning or changing lanes.

3. Be conspicuous.

Ride where drivers can see you; wear bright clothing. Use a front white light and red rear light and reflectors at night or when visibility is poor. Make eye contact with drivers. Don’t ride on sidewalks.

4. Think ahead.

Anticipate what drivers, pedestrians, and other bicyclists will do next. Watch for turning vehicles and ride outside the door zone of parked cars. Look out for debris, potholes, and utility covers. Cross railroad tracks at right angles.

5. Ride Ready.

Check your tires have sufficient air, brakes are working, chain runs smoothly, and quick release wheel levers are closed. Carry repair and emergency supplies appropriate for your ride. Wear a helmet.

6. Keep your cool.

Road rage benefits no-one and always makes a bad situation worse.

Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day!

Thank you to everyone who participated in 2013's national Take a Kid Mountain Biking day! Deb, Nicole, Elinor, Andy, Oliver, Joseph and Pete were on the trail ride. We rode around Cappy's on our "beginners' loop".
Let us know if you'd like to go out sometime for an easy ride.

Don't forget The Broken Spoke's weekly bike rides:
*Monday night is Ladies' night!
*Thursday night is our Mountain Bike ride.

Saturday's Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day!

International Mountain Biking Association (IMBA) will celebrate its tenth-annual Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day on Saturday, October 5, 2013. This is a great opportunity for you to share your passion for pedaling with a kid!

Join Pete and Nicole of the Broken Spoke for a pedal around Cappy's trails. Meet at 3pm in the Blue Heron Parking lot. We will stay as a group (depending on numbers we will split into a younger and older group). Plan on about an hour. Bring a snack, water, your helmet, and a bicycle.

All ages, all abilities, all sizes of bikes welcome.
