Bicycle Safety Suggestions
Bicycles provide recreation, exercise and personal transportation. But they must be ridden safely with a keen awareness of the cycling environment. The policy of the Siskiyou Velo Club is that all members and guests are personally responsible for their own cycling safety on all rides and events, not the Ride Leaders. The Bicycle Safety Suggestions below are provided to assist you with your responsibilities; if ever in doubt, use your own judgment for your safety.

Ride safely and enjoy your cycling adventure!
