THE RULES:
To keep the group safe and the vibes high, we have a few non-negotiables:
Be Self-Sufficient: Bring a flat repair kit (tube/CO2/tool) and your own hydration/nutrition.
Safety Essentials: Helmets are mandatory. No headphones—stay aware of the group and the road.
Lights strongly suggested.
The Vibe: Ride smart and stay predictable. No Jerks allowed. This is a positive community space 💖
