At the start of most of the shop rides, I, or one of the other shop ride leaders will take time to remind you of our four simple, basic rules. Obeying traffic laws/signs should go without saying.
1. Call out road defects. trash in the road; traffic danger
2. No MP3 players
3. No overlapping wheels
4. No aero-bars except in the front
This youtube video came to my attention a month or so ago and it totally shows why the last two are not welcome on the shop ride. This video wasn’t filmed on a shop ride, and I sometimes wonder if people really understand why we have the last two rules. Despite its’ size, the shop ride is largely accident free.
Take a look at the video, when you do, remember no aero bars when following, the shop ride is a bike ride, not a triathlon. Triathlons that almost everyone reading this will take part in are non-drafting, than means cyclist 3x bikes apart, drafting races held under ITU rules, including USA Triathlon don’t allow the full length style aero bars this guy has.
Now watch, two split second errors, one was he could not brake fast enough because his hands were on the aero bars; two, because of that, he overlapped and touched the rear wheel of the rider in front. When you first see this it might look like a stunt, it wasn’t the front wheel of the guy that crashed totally collapsed after touching…
Be safe on all your group rides! ++Mark.
