When riding in a group, experienced drivers know that they need to keep the wheel straight and even without sudden movements, and this will distinguish them from inexperienced drivers. Spontaneous holding of the wheel interferes with group driving. Try to imagine yourself in the place of the cyclist walking with you. they may not have time to react to your zigzag: they will hit you from behind. Usually after hitting the cyclist walking in front of you, either the person hitting from behind falls, or both. Falling a group of people can cause everyone to fall when cyclists collide with a suddenly fallen cyclist. The interesting thing is that the perpetrator of the accident, the cyclist walking in front of the cyclists, gets the least damage, plus he has a good chance of not falling at all. Of course, it is clear that the presence of open manholes forces maneuvers, but about that a little later.
The cyclist behind cannot avoid a collision if the person in front of him brakes sharply. He simply won't be able to react to the braking. If you suddenly run into a pothole, an open manhole, or a pedestrian, you need to orient yourself quickly to get around or what better way to be careful so there are no sudden moments, only as a last resort to brake sharply. If there is an option not to brake, you should use that option. The best option is to go around, but you may also prefer to collide with a pedestrian, not because we don't like pedestrians, but simply the consequences will be less from colliding with a pedestrian than colliding with all cyclists in the aftermath of braking the cyclist ahead of the group.
Following this rule can be a guarantee of a healthy and friendly atmosphere for all participants. If you are unsure of your cycling skills, if you like to turn the handlebars back and forth, and if you like to brake quickly, you should ride at the end of the group. However, do not lose touch with those in front of the group, for example, you can signal before you stop.
Group cycling involves a speed limit. Suppose the group is traveling at 20 km/h, then you should travel at the same speed, even if you can accelerate more. After all, it was your choice to participate in a group bike ride, otherwise you might as well ride alone. When one in the group stands out, picking up speed, the others speed up as well. As a result, the group spontaneously diverges, with weaker cyclists lagging behind the overall group. You can show speed during competitions, but during group cycling you need to show other features.
When you ride behind a cyclist, the road usually does not look good, which means that you may only notice potholes or other obstacles a few meters away when you are already close or right under the wheel. Therefore, following cyclist rules, the person in front should warn the other members of the group with a hand gesture or audible signal, and each member of the group should relay the signals they receive to the others. person actions or "surprises" along the way. Before braking the hand must be raised up, when turning the direction of the turn must be indicated by the hand, in case of obstacles the corresponding hand is lowered, and in case of pits, it is allowed to shout and warn.
KEEP THE DISTANCE while driving, especially if you are unfamiliar with group cycling skills. Keep your distance and increase your distance, because you can't be sure if others know these important rules. They may brake sharply without warning, and we know that the cyclist coming from behind suffers more of an accident than the one who is hit from behind. You need to keep your distance not only from the cyclist in front of you, but also from the cyclist passing you, because if there is a hole in his path, he will need room to pass.
During a group bike ride, each cyclist, as mentioned above, should take the most comfortable position at the beginning of the ride and hold it all the time. Overtaking should be practically excluded, reduced to a minimum. In extreme cases, you can overtake only on the left side. Overtaking from the right side is strictly forbidden.
You can't look over to the right, because if you see a fast approaching object, you will subconsciously react by turning the steering wheel to the left, with the result that by stepping onto the road you risk yourself and the cyclist who calmly tried to overtake you on the left.
It is well known that when everyone around you gets a "strange feeling", it partially spreads to the whole group. If one member of the group starts riding incorrectly, ignoring the rules of the road, it does not mean that the others should follow his example. Everyone in the group should follow the rules of cycling, continue to ride calmly, respecting all the rules.
