RULES OF THE ROAD

Riders attend club rides strictly at their own risk. Please listen to your ride leaders and follow their instructions.

ALL RIDERS MUST observe the Highway Code AT ALL TIMES when riding with Islington CC. This includes: riding no more than two abreast; riding in single file to allow traffic to pass on narrow roads; obeying traffic lights and signs; not riding on pavements; and not abusing other road users.

You must wear a helmet to take part in any of our club rides.

Please acknowledge any courtesy shown to you by other road users and stop at pedestrian crossings where necessary.

In the winter months when roads are wet we request that you use mudguards as a courtesy to your fellow riders.

JOINING THE CLUB

Once you have completed an Intro or Group Skills ride you will qualify to pay the membership fee and join the club. Once you’ve signed up through British Cycling our membership secretary will process your application and be in touch shortly to welcome you to the club. This normally takes up to a week, so please be patient. See https://islington.cc/membership.

Looking forward to seeing you!

David,
