HERE'S GUIDELINES ON HOW WE RIDE: https://www.facebook.com/groups/SocialCyclingFlint/permalink/671554579588579/

Okay folks, since we're really trail-blazing here with night-time urban riding in Flint, I wanted to write out some safety tips for folks to make sure we can prevent any nasty spills or accidents by being familiar with the process. Please take a few minutes to read over this, and comment if you feel I missed anything in particular. This is REQUIRED reading for anyone riding the Thursday Night Party Rides! Some of these are borrowed from the Detroit Slow Roll, so check out their stuff here: http://www.slowroll.bike/code-of-conduct/

1) LIGHT KITS // They're affordable and absolutely necessary for night time riding. If you don't have lights, you are INVISIBLE to cars until the point where they have limited reaction time to slow down or stop... if at all. Part of the fun with the party ride is that it's at night. If you do not have a light kit, plan on picking one up either at a local cycling store like Recycle Bike Shop & Mobile Bike Repair / Cyclefit Sports - Fenton / Cyclefit Sports - Saginaw / Assenmacher Cycling Centers. Check with a social cycling flint leader, usually someone has some for sale or accessible if necessary for $10-20. We're going to ask that everyone pick some up so we can make sure this ride remains safe. Remember, if you ARE NOT VISIBLE this makes you a safety threat to other rides as well as yourself. So PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE buy some lights, there will be plenty of people on the ride who can help install them for you!

2) COMMUNICATION // If you have ANY issues with your bike that cause you to potentially lose control, slow down first, and make sure to verbally announce around you that you're, "SLOWING" or "STOPPING" to help other riders around you know what's up. Also, hand signals are essential, extend your left hand out straight to indicate you're going left, bend it at the elbow with your hand facing downward at a 90 degree angle to indicate you're stopping, and extend the right arm out straight to indicate you're going right (this is now legal in Michigan).

Shout out turns, stops, passing, debris or obstructions, and anything else that will keep the group safe. If one person spills, it can potentially hurt a lot of people if we don't communicate!

3) RIDE IN THE CENTER OF THE RIGHT LANE // DO NOT RIDE AGAINST TRAFFIC AT ANY TIME! When you're on a bike, you are a vehicle and should behave like any vehicle on the road. Obviously, Flint doesn't have an extensive amount of bike friendly infrastructure, so behave like you would in a car. This way, we can let other vehicles pass us safely without anyone getting in the way or potentially getting hurt

4) COME PREPARED // Make sure your bike is in good working order BEFORE coming to the meeting location. Bring plenty of water, a spare tube for flats, your helmet and a light kit. There usually are trained bike mechanics there if you need them, but you should come as prepared as possible.

5) STAY ALERT & BE AWARE // It's important to pay attention to what's going on around you. You're surrounded by dozens of bikers and hundreds of motorists at any given time, over a changing terrain. Make sure you're conscious of everyone and everything around you to keep yourself and other safe.

6) SHARE THE ROAD // If we want motorists to respect us, we must lead by example by respecting them as well. Before and after the ride, be sure to keep the road clear. Always leave a lane open while riding and when you hear "car back" or "car up" be sure to move as far to the right as possible to allow traffic to pass safely. When coming to a stop, do not ride past those stopping in front of you – stay in line.

7) STICK TOGETHER // If you see a gap forming, ride a little faster to keep the group together. Wide gaps in the ride can leave room for cars to break the pack, a potentially dangerous situation.

RIDE SLOW // Stay behind the leader at all times. Do not weave in and out of other riders or speed past each other.

9) DON'T BE SWEET // Please don't do tricks in the crowd, pop wheelies, jump curbs or try to show off. We don't care how good you are, in a large group accidents can and will happen. BMX riders are more than welcome, but should stay on the sidewalks and away from the crowd while doing tricks.

10) DON'T LITTER // Littering is not acceptable. Come prepared with an old grocery bag for your trash or be sure to find public receptacles along the way. Show respect for our city – let's make it better, not worse.

11) ENCOURAGE POSITIVITY // Our goal is to bring people together. Biking is nearly as universal as smiling, offering a great way to bring our city together. We're here to do something good – negative or aggressive behavior will not be tolerated.
