Signals, spares, and support roles spelled out calmly
This page collects recurring etiquette from volunteer ride briefings. It does not constitute training; it mirrors what leaders typically repeat at rollout.
Hand signals we reference
Descriptions assume daylight and dry grip. If visibility drops, verbal calls augment gestures.
- Left arm extended for planned turns; right arm bent upward only when traffic patterns allow alternate signaling.
- Flat palm waving downward indicates slowing for debris, railroad plates, or pedestrian crossings.
- Pointing to shoulder gaps helps trailing riders choose line without sudden lateral moves.
