General Ride Etiquette and Riding Guidelines

The club has been formed around riding very well as a group of cyclists who can ride as one cohesive unit which keeps everyone as safe possible. We have various groups which can cater for everyone from new starters through to experienced riders.

• Your bike should be safe and road legal.
• Lights must be used when required.
• Mudguards are required for winter rides.
• Be properly equipped for mechanical issues. (e.g. Pump, Inner Tube, Multi-Tool).
• Have a backup plan in case of emergency issues.
• Emergency Contact Number 0121 634 2828
• If you leave before the end of the ride, you must notify the ride leader.

Riding Standards – The V-Sprint image is always on show, so riders are to follow good road etiquette and always follow all road traffic laws.

• You ride at your own risk and are expected to arrange your own insurance.
• You are responsible for the safety of yourself, those around you and other road users.
• Point out obstructions and hazards.
• Each ride is to have a nominated leader to direct and support riders.

• Start time, location and route map will be provided via Strava events.

• Where numbers exceed safe limits, riders will be split to groups of similar ability.
• Except where stated at the start of the ride, we have a “no drop” policy.
