The High peaks masters team strives to present a positive image and high integrity in everything related to the team. As such, we strive to be part of the solution to problems, rather than contribute to them. Since something as simple as a training ride in team uniform can make an impression (good or bad) on a large audience, here is a reminder for everyone wearing the uniform, and representing the team.
Please don't take part in any group rides where inappropriate road manners are displayed. if there is even one person in a group ride engaging in improper or disrespectful riding, it can undo years of careful, considerate riding from dozens of others. There is enough bad feelings from the drivers on the road now, without reinforcing the negative stereotypes of the "rude cyclist" that already exist.
Should you be on a ride where others insist on such poor behavior, (riding in the oncoming lane, in front of traffic, rolling stop signs, etc..) please consider NOT showing the HPM team colors in such a group. The future of driver-rider relations is in ALL our hands.
