Practising courtesies and our etiquette within the bunch is important; furthermore, responsible, non-aggressive cycling in the bunch is important to gain mutual respect and harmony on our roads. To improve safety and consideration, when sharing Sydney’s busy roads, members on club rides are asked to adhere to the following guidelines:

• Obey the road rules, including traffic signals.
• Respect other road users – be courteous and anticipate mistakes (that we can all make).
• Be predictable and always indicate your intentions - use hand signals from the front of the bunch to the tail.
• Ride two abreast (in a bunch), but be courteous if the road narrows riding single file when necessary and when the bunch is small.
• At lights and intersections, stay in position behind queued vehicles rather than rolling up the side of stopped traffic.
• Wear a helmet at all times.
• Use lights when riding in low light conditions.
