Route & segment safety

Plan safe routes, avoid conflict points, and brief riders.

Overview

Safety is the top priority. Plan routes that ride smoothly, avoid conflict points, and keep finishes predictable.

Good segment choices

  • Wide shoulders or bike lanes
  • Clear sightlines and low-speed crossings
  • Climbs or steady false flats (avoid sharp descents)

Avoid these pitfalls

  • Finishes at stop signs, traffic lights, or driveways
  • Blind corners or narrow bridges
  • High-speed descents leading into busy areas

Rider reminders

Tell riders to follow local traffic laws, yield when needed, and ride single file where space is tight.
