BIKE RIDE EXPECTATIONS
• This event centers brand new riders, riders coming back after a long time away and other people who have felt uncomfortable riding with other biking groups for whatever reason. • This event centers fat and plus size people although all are welcome.
• All genders of riders are welcome.
• We will be riding between 5 and 10 mph. If you regularly ride much faster or riding at that speed is uncomfortable to you, maybe this isn't the right ride for you.
• We will be stopping often.
• We will be riding between 3 and 5 miles total.
• This is a social ride, not a ride to train or have a workout.
• No discussion of intentional weight loss, dieting or wellness lifestyles before, on or after the ride. This includes moralizing food choices. General talk about how to fuel our bodies for riding may happen on the ride.
• No "bike shaming" . All types and ages of bikes are welcome as long as they are safe to ride. If you're not sure if your bike is safe, bring it to your local bike shop for a tune up before the ride.
• Helmets are required.
