Ride for Safety
In Memory of Josh Duncan, Jeff Pierce, and Dale Willenberg
Spartanburg Freewheelers Safety Committee continues to develop initiatives to help make cycling safer.
This ride is to help raise funds to support these initiatives and bring awareness to what we can do to help improve our safety. Ride Theme is "Be Seen". Drivers are more distracted today than ever. We need to make ourselves more visible.
*All children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult.

Standard Safe Cycling Group Ride Requirements:
- ID with In Case of Emergency contact - required on your person/bike (not on your mobile phone).
- Helmets required (glasses recommended)

- Headlights: Highly recommend. Be seen by oncoming cars and drivers turning
- No Earbuds – to hear cars and fellow riders
- Obey Safe Cycling Practices
- Do Not engage/ respond/ react to angry motorist. Document - video/ pictures/ write to tell authorities if needed
