Safety Tip from Throttle - Parade formation

Do not ride in a parade style formation (side-by-side). Too many things can go wrong and cause you and the adjacent rider to go down. Each rider “owns” the entire width of the lane. Never encroach on that space.

For questions, comments, or suggestions on safety tips please contact Rob 'Throttle' Capozzi.
