Cycling in Groups

Cycling in groups is a great way to enjoy active transportation with others who share similar interests. Riding in groups can also help protect your safety on the road by increasing your visibility.

Cyclists have the same rights and duties on the road as drivers. Always obey traffic signs and signals and remember to ride single file when cycling in groups.
