We are a community of cyclists who enjoy getting together, building lasting friendships and creating a culture of caring, sharing and fun. We encourage riders at all levels to ride safely, build confidence, and accomplish things they never thought possible.

As leaders in the cycling community, we develop better cyclists through education.

Finally, we create a better world by giving back to good causes through volunteering, fundraising, and club-sponsored events.

We promote cycling as a form of transportation and a viable choice for living an active and full life.

We wear helmets with proper fit & adjustment and follow the laws specific to all the local areas we ride.

• We stop and wait at traffic lights & stop signs.
• When turning right, we take a position behind cars turning right.
• When going straight, we line up left of right turn lane; clearing turn lane.
• Where safe, we single up allowing cars to pass.
• Where “sharrows” are indicated, cyclists may take the full lane.
• We yield to pedestrians.

As a part of the North Coast Velo Cycling Club,
we ride in a safe and predictable manner.

To promote safety while riding:

• We scan for obstacles/risks, warning those close behind by visual/verbal cues.
• When turning left, each rider is responsible for scanning and the last rider scans and signals the merge left.
• If a person has a physical or equipment problem, we ensure they are safe.
