Rider Agreement

The Colorado Peace Ride is conducted on open roads with vehicular traffic. These roads include both marked and unmarked hazards.

Though we go to great lengths to make the ride as safe as possible, always remember that safety is in your own hands and ride by these rules:

Wear a helmet at all times – NO EXCEPTIONS

• Carry ID and relevant medical information

• Rules of the road apply; same rights and duties as the driver of any other vehicle

• Ride single file where necessary, maximum of two abreast when conditions allow, do not impede traffic

• Ride as far right as reasonable

• Obey all traffic lights, signs, and regulations

• Cross railroad tracks at a right angle
Pass on the left only, announce “passing” or “hello” or “on your left”

• Use hand signals to indicate road hazards, stopping, slowing, right, and left turns

• Prepare properly – nutrition, hydration, training, and sudden changes in weather conditions

• Respect others: riders, volunteers, host communities, motorists, pedestrians, law enforcement, and the environment

• Aerobars, child seats and headphones are not permitted while riding

Riding safely and considerately is vital to your enjoyment and the safety of other riders.The future of cycling events in Colorado depends on your cooperation with the rules above.
