Call out signals and warnings (left, right, glass, potholes, bollards etc)

Bunch up at traffic lights and be prepared to move off quickly
-
Look over your shoulder before veering off your line

No undertaking
-
Don’t disappear without telling anyone

No flashing or super bright lights please

Tail End Charlies will help with mechanicals - but make a start if you have one
-
Waymarkers - more here

Don’t ride in front of the ride leader

No music out loud and we would also advise against using headphones

Please check your tyres before the ride
Equality and Diversity
The Fridays is a small, friendly and inclusive cycling club and all riders and ride leaders are expected to reflect this in their behaviour.
Unacceptable behaviour will not be tolerated and will require action from the club. Unacceptable behaviour includes, but is not limited to, bullying, discrimination, harassment, sexual innuendo or comments, and any other behaviour that creates a hostile or offensive environment.
This is covered in further detail in the Cycling UK Equality and Diversity Policy which applies to everyone participating in our rides, including all riders and ride leaders, at all times.
