Think, would I do this driving? * No more than two abreast. * Stay two abreast, it is safer for a vehicle to pass a car than a train. * Reach out and touch someone. Keep it as tight as you can horizontally. It will make it safer for people to drop back off the front and more importantly, safer for cars to pass. * NEVER EVER CROSS THE YELLOW LINE. * I have been pulled over for not coming to a complete stop. Also, there are multiple blind turns on the routes that need to be a complete stop before continuing on. People on the front need to stop, people behind can roll after, train mentality. There are differing opinions on front vs whole group having to stop, but damnit, someone stop. * Don’t roll up to the line at traffic lights if there are cars in front!!! They may not see you and make a last minute decision to turn right, running over you, not good! Also, chances are they already passed you once, let’s not make them do it again, everyone it safer that way. * NO AEROBARS unless off the back. * RESPECT WHAT THE GROUP RIDE IS. If it’s a social ride, maintain the advertised pace. * When pulling off the front of the pace line, peel the banana. If you’re on the left peel off left, if you’re on the right, peel off right. It is the person that is pulling off job to slow down, not the person coming through to speed up. MAINTAIN THE PACE. * If you are on the front you have to pedal the whole entire time. * If you do not want to be on the front please communicate with the person next to you. Do not skip a pull, just pull off as soon as you are clear. It will keep the pace line happy, smooth, and avoid confusion. * MAINTAIN YOUR EFFORT NOT THE SPEED. * Maintain the pace line whether going up or down hills. Bicycles have brakes and multiple gears, use them. * Communicate with fellow riders! * If making a turn or going through a stop make sure the entire group can safely make it. * Nothing in the ears unless it is a hearing aid. It’s a good thing to hear your fellow riders yell “hole!” Also a good thing to hear cars coming up behind you. * When coming out of a stop, roll easy until the group is together. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a9d6313e2ccd15461ed6058/1520291169279-2RPRUYDFVPTLSVY2NY96/IMG_2087.jpg Laws & Tips https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a9d6313e2ccd15461ed6058/1520294506095-EWY6M7HNVBOPV1GYYFBK/IMG_0434.jpg Laws & Tips https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a9d6313e2ccd15461ed6058/1520350882123-DO1WK5TZC73BHQ0PFY4K/12190808_887604884641008_2307152315456565585_n.jpg Laws & Tips https://www.fairhopecyclingproject.com/events-1 daily 0.75 2022-11-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a9d6313e2ccd15461ed6058/1520292438001-ILNJGEJR3DLYI17AHK15/12316182_889141894484204_8482831695615550879_n.jpg Events https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a9d6313e2ccd15461ed6058/1520292438945-8PD36MTYEA4ENCG05R43/18216716_1311258455605877_6294669557140019991_o.jpg Events https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a9d6313e2ccd15461ed6058/1520292439054-ZCBTU6ASLCEELEU2NCBA/IMG_0423.jpg Events https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a9d6313e2ccd15461ed6058/1520292447305-YRLTTULXF9U2I6W2MZ1U/photo0.jpg Events https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a9d6313e2ccd15461ed6058/1520292447841-OQDTBUUSCFGCAU0W0HGF/turkeyfondo2016.JPG Events https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a9d6313e2ccd15461ed6058/1520295274096-TA61PIOWLBE9PNBQ499B/24173856_374222796351558_1660826350631593433_o.jpg Events - Fairhope Bike to School When - First Friday of every month. Where - Anywhere! Contact information below. Students who bike to FES on first Fridays will receive spoke beads for their bikes! Get active. Reduce traffic congestion. Increase environmental stewardship. Have fun! SCHOOL RULES: -Students must wear a helmet (it’s the law!) and be accompanied by an adult. -Students on bikes should enter the campus by the HOV line entrance on Fairwood, walk their bikes down the big hill and park on the N side of campus W of the cafeteria doors. Please do not enter campus from Section St. at the HOV line exit. -Bikes should always be walked on sidewalks once on campus. TIPS FOR BICYCLISTS -Map out a route ahead of time and do a test ride during low traffic times. -Use your eyes & ears to look for things in your path and listen for traffic. -Watch for vehicles coming out of driveways and stop before crossing the street, entering a road or turning. Look left, right, left and behind you for traffic (including pedestrians, bicycles & cars). -Ride straight and in a predictable manner, with both hands on the handlebars, except when signaling. -Negotiate with drivers, making sure they know what you intend to do via eye contact and communicating through hand signals and body language. -Dismounting and walking your bike is always an option, especially when crossing a busy street or climbing a steep hill. -If you live too far to bike, consider parking closer and then biking to school. -Organize a bike train with friends and neighbors to ride as a group to school. WHERE TO RIDE--Street or Sidewalk? -Sidewalks are recommended for bikers that are less than 10 years old (according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration). Fairhope allows bikes on sidewalks outside of downtown. -Remember that pedestrians have the right-of-way on sidewalks. Slow down & alert them as you approach by ringing your bell and/or saying “passing on the left”. -If riding on the street, ride single file to the right side of the road & in the same direction as cars. -Obey all traffic signs, signals, lane markings & laws—your bicycle is a vehicle & you are the driver. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a9d6313e2ccd15461ed6058/1520292389515-ZKYXO4G1ROM1UJ4ZQ4BX/IMG_0425.jpg Events https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a9d6313e2ccd15461ed6058/1520295228061-NC6I2L4GA7MTEDBZGS5H/27655272_398252807281890_1341967371576183605_n+%282%29.jpg Events https://www.fairhopecyclingproject.com/about daily 0.75 2018-03-05 https://www.fairhopecyclingproject.com/hero-image-1 daily 0.75 2018-03-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a9d6313e2ccd15461ed6058/1520273901684-3OLKBPO3UHZAM5K761X3/IMG_0428.jpg Hero Image 1 https://www.fairhopecyclingproject.com/spotlight-post daily 0.75 2018-03-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a9d6313e2ccd15461ed6058/1520277427906-EI242AJUV4900CJZLVO0/IMG_0428.jpg Spotlight Post https://www.fairhopecyclingproject.com/al-license-plate daily 0.75 2018-03-05 https://www.fairhopecyclingproject.com/contact-1 daily 0.75 2018-03-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a9d6313e2ccd15461ed6058/1622821853596-DHKZW7L7OHK01X65L3AH/Katie+Progress+02.jpg Contact https://www.fairhopecyclingproject.com/categories daily 0.75 2018-03-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a9d6313e2ccd15461ed6058/1520277600380-ZK8N2PO2WGRLX7LKFPC5/IMG_0431.jpg Categories https://www.fairhopecyclingproject.com/welcome daily 1.0 2018-03-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a9d6313e2ccd15461ed6058/1612985923098-MXIKEKD4QYWVJQJZ1M0I/120948067_3256923254375814_2196241716496537713_n.jpg Welcome https://www.fairhopecyclingproject.com/contact daily 0.75 2016-02-14 https://www.fairhopecyclingproject.com/license-plate daily 0.75 2021-02-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a9d6313e2ccd15461ed6058/1612986501830-AG6VP61KCX6W3DIB7E3Y/IMG_0428.jpg License Plate Original design.
