All cyclists must stop on red. Don't advance through intersection after light turns yellow. Don't filter forward past other stopped vehicles in the same lane; get in line with traffic. The rest of the cycling group bunches up to take control of the lane while waiting and to increase throughput when they proceed. Maintain lane control while in the intersection and collapse into paceline(s) after moving through the intersection. For small groups, lead cyclists should wait past the intersection for those caught by the red light.

Assist other vehicles to pass more easily when it is safe and reasonable to do so. Limit "compact groups" to not more than 25 cyclists. Ride no wider than double pace line. With rotating paceline, lead cyclist(s) drops back quickly after pulling. Avoid widening the formation longer than necessary. Always look back and yield to overtaking traffic before moving to the left

The bicyclist has the legal status of a vehicle driver and has the full rights and responsibilities of other drivers on the road. It's up to the cyclist to ride predictably, responsibly, and safely, as is expected of drivers. Clearly signal to communicate your intentions well in advance and avoid unexpected road handling.

The front cyclist always stops until it is safe and legal to proceed. Each cyclist must clearly warn those behind of approaching vehicles. Following cyclists must look for approaching traffic and proceed at their caution when advancing past the stop sign into the intersection. For small groups, lead cyclists should wait past the intersection for those delayed by traffic.

If others may be about to move into the path of an unseen vehicle, call "Car up", "back", "left" or "right!" as appropriate. Call or point out surface hazards such as potholes or gravel that may not be visible to cyclists behind you. Call "Slowing!" or "Stopping!" when reducing speed unexpectedly.

Each cyclist merges to the left side of the lane or into a left turn lane if present, and yields until it is safe and legal to proceed. Each cyclist must clearly warn those behind of approaching vehicles. Following cyclists must look for approaching traffic and proceed at their caution when turning. For small groups, lead cyclists should wait past the intersection for those delayed by traffic. Select routes that avoid or limit left turns.

The bicyclist has the legal status of a vehicle driver and has the full rights and responsibilities of other drivers on the road. As with motorized vehicles, many cyclists are mothers and fathers who have families waiting for them at home. Treat them as you would any slow-moving motorist, such as an agricultural vehicle.

Cyclists try to avoid roads with heavy traffic, but occasionally do need to travel on roads with increased motorized traffic. Please be tolerant of the fact that a reasonably fit recreational cyclist will be traveling about 20 miles per hour. Refrain from tailgating a group of cyclists as you would a motorized vehicle and wait until it is safe to pass before overtaking a group. Most cyclists choose to ride on more rural roads, and the ability to pass will come quickly. When passing, allow adequate room between you and the cyclists. Certainly the few seconds added to your trip time is not worth putting someone's life in jeopardy.

Watch for cyclists when you are planning to negotiate a right turn as a cyclist may be to the right of you and planning to go straight at the same location. If a cyclist is within short distance between you and your planned right turn, do not speed ahead of them thinking that you can negotiate the turn before they reach your car as the cyclist will probably be moving faster than you realize. Be patient. You may end up turning a few seconds later than planned, but your tolerance will make the road safer for all.

Watch for oncoming cyclists when you are planning to negotiate a left turn as a cyclist may be planning to go straight at the same intersection. If an oncoming cyclist is between you and your planned left turn, do not speed up thinking that you can negotiate the turn before they reach the intersection, as the cyclist will probably be moving faster than you realize. The cyclist, as will all motorized traffic, will have the right-of-way.

Do not honk unnecessarily at cyclists. Most cyclists are aware that you are behind them, but if the need arises to alert them of your presence, do so at a reasonable distance using a honk of short duration. The cyclists also want you to pass as soon as it reasonably safe to do so. Riding close to the cyclists and honking at them not only can cause a cyclist to react unpredictably and create a hazardous situation for both you and the cyclist, but also unnecessarily creates animosity between the groups. Be tolerant.
