Bike Prescott Safe Group-Riding Guidelines (predictability is the key to safety)
- Riders must wear a helmet. Taillights strongly suggested. Mirrors and brightly-colored clothing may help you see and be seen.
- Riders must carry emergency contact information.
- Do not wear anything in your ears that prevents you from hearing what is going on around you.
- Riders must obey traffic laws.
- Understand how to safely navigate various traffic configurations and turns. Refer to the Arizona Bicycling Street Smarts Manual. Hereās the link:
http://www.azbikeped.org/bicycling-street-smarts.asp
- Ride single-file and stay to the right except when road conditions allow.
- Donāt bunch up at traffic lights (creates traffic confusion).
- As a general rule, pass other riders on their left. Say āon your leftā. If for some reason you decide to pass on someoneās right, call out: āOn your rightā.
- Point out hazards and route turns verbally and/or with hand signals.
- Keep together as a unit as much as possible at intersections. (āOne larger thingā is more visible and less confusing to cars than āsmaller separate things.ā)
- Riders who want to be dropped or go off on their own must tell someone.

STARTING AT THE END OF THE PAVEMENT ON WVR, we will head south, turn right on Fair Oaks and take that to the end of Tonto. Then we will ride back to WVR where we will turn right. We will take WVR as far as the turnout for Whispering Canyon then go back to the end of WVR.
