Want to prevent traffic citations or injuries, gain support of decision-makers for better bike infrastructure, and still P-A-R-T-Y?

In response to more KSBW stories (April 1, 2024 "3 kids arrested in Salinas after group seen riding bikes ‘recklessly’” and March 26 “Salinas Police says juvenile bicyclists have been spotted riding recklessly,” both by Ricardo Tovar, ), we’ve reposted "Rideout or Rude Out? Make your bike party courteous, safer, legal, and fun.” Please share with your friends. https://bikemonterey.org/rideout-or-rude-out-make-your-bike-party-courteous-safer-legal-and-fun.html

Education not citation (whenever appropriate).

Help that happen. Share "Group Social Bike Rides — Instrux for Participants" with youth and adults doing ride-outs / #BikeParties / #BikeRuns / #CriticalMass rides in your community. https://bikemonterey.org/rideout-or-rude-out-make-your-bike-party-safe-legal-and-fun.html

Bike parties can be FUN 🚲🎉🥳🚲🥳 ! We've been to Salinas bike parties and Santa Cruz bike parties that we loved.

Bike parties don't have to = 🤕🩹❤️‍🩹injuries, 👨‍✈️✍️😭🤑citations, and 🚳shutdowns.

That 9/14/23 KSBW "rideout" (rude out) story? https://www.ksbw.com/article/bicyclist-hit-and-injured-during-rideout-in-salinas/45145999

We encourage such riders to adopt "Group Social Rides Instrux for Participants" https://bikemonterey.org/rideout-or-rude-out-make-your-bike-party-safe-legal-and-fun.html — and actually boost bike community, with courteous social bike runs!

Avoid citations, gain public support for better bike infrastructure, and still bike P-A-R-T-Y!
