Readers Digest Version of the Bike Rules
2. When passed you must not accelerate!
Allow the pass, then return the favour and pass them if you can.
3. Communicate!
When you wish to pass let the person ahead of you know by shouting "on your Left".
4. Listen!
Pay attention to the other cyclists. If some tells you they're "on your left" move right as quickly as possible and let them pass safely.
5. Blocking is dangerous.
Riding side by side with friends blocks the road for faster cyclists and cars! You could be killed by a car. At the very least you could be penalized.
6. Self Police.
If someone is blocking your path and will not move to allow you to pass, make a mental note of their number and file a protest at the end of the race. A good idea is to speak with others around them and ask them to do the same. It's rare that only one person is held up.
7. Never cross the centre of the road!
Lines are not always painted on the road. This also applies when cornering - cut the corner and you will be DQ'd.
8. Always assume the road is open to cars!
You must share the road! At any time a car may enter the course from driveways etc. Always be mindful.
9. Know the Course.
It is your responsibility to know the course. Please look over the maps posted in this newsletter.
NOTE: If you are pulling out of the race or not starting (but your bike is in transition) you MUST inform a Triathlon Ontario official as well as Sportstats.
