Safety Officer

Dave H. | [email protected]

Riding safely is the first and foremost commitment of our Eastside Chapter - by everyone, on every ride, every time.

Safety is a key part of all our Chapter Rides. We’re here to create and support a culture of safety for everyone on our chapter rides, and to take a ‘Ride Safe’ mindset on every ride – alone, with a friend, in a small group, on an event.

Riding safely grows with experience while riding and improving skills with every ride, mastering new situations and environments.

Our Safety Officer will provide you with the basic tools to start your journey and gain confidence in riding in a group. Check our calendar for introductory or advanced skills group riding classes throughout the riding season.

This page holds some valuable information and articles, with new content added regularly.
