Bunch etiquette

Safe wheels are happy wheels.

Good bunch etiquette keeps the ride predictable, relaxed and safe. Leaders explain the calls and signals, and every rider helps pass them through the group.

Follow the road rules and ride no more than two abreast.
Hold a steady, group-appropriate pace and avoid sudden movements.
Call and point out hazards, slowing, stopping and changes of direction.
Pass calls forward and back so the whole bunch receives them.
Look after the rider beside you—and make sure everyone is on.

New to bunch calls? Your ride leaders will talk you through them.

Out on the road

The miles are better
when they are shared.

In their words

More than
a weekly ride.

“
I started riding with the Spin Sistas a few years ago. It was like I found my second family. Brooke and Lynda are awesome leaders who go out of their way to encourage and challenge us. No one is ever left behind.

My tribe, my friends, my support, my therapists and where I feel at home—they all speak my language. Being part of this amazing group has made me a better, fitter and more balanced human being.

I joined Spin Sistas to improve my skills and confidence on the bike. I achieved both, and also built friendships in an incredible group of women who encourage each other on and off the bike.
