When taking part in a Club related activity, whether this activity involves cycling or not, all members must remember that their conduct reflects directly on the Club, and consequently it must be of the highest order.
When cycling on the road, all members must adhere strictly to the ‘rules of the road’ and must not put themselves or fellow cyclists, whether Club members or not, in danger. Safety in our sport is of the utmost importance, and members must not only look out for themselves, but also for fellow cyclists. This includes pointing out obstructions on the road and remaining as a group to assist a member with any mechanical or other issues that may arise. The group must only move off when the issue has been resolved or if the person requiring assistance has agreed that the group may continue without them. NO RIDER WILL BE ABANDONED.
Each member is an ambassador for the Club, and should promote the benefits of being part of the Club whenever they can.
Wearing the Club Jersey whenever they are participating in a Club activity/event is encouraged and is compulsory. Club Jersey can be ordered through the official WhatsApp Contact Number.
Although it is not yet a legal requirement, wearing an approved safety helmet when cycling is strongly advised and MUST be worn on any club-sanctioned event. The risk of serious head injury is greatly increased if a helmet is not worn and this is likely to be taken into account in the event of an insurance claim.
Each member is responsible for maintaining their bicycle in a good and safe condition.
