As our rides continue to grow, so does our need to become safer cyclists. You can help keep Bike MS cyclists safe, retain our positive image and protect the future of the event by becoming a safety ambassador. Because when you ride safe and practice safe cycling behavior, other cyclists will tend to follow your lead. So set a good example today - start with becoming a safety ambassador.

Requirements:

• Be at least 18-years-old
   
• Be a veteran City to Shore or PA Dutch cyclist (ridden at least one year)
   
• Attend one group riding skills course. (The GRS course is valid for three years. If you participated in a GRS course in 2008 or 2009, you will not need to attend another course in 2010)
   
• Safety Ambassador Training Conference Call (only for 2010 City to Shore SA's who participated in a 2008 or 2009 GRS course). RSVP for one of the times below by contacting Nicole.
  • Tuesday, September 14 at 7:30 p.m.
  • Saturday, September 11 at 10 a.m.
     
• Review safety brochure (PDF, 295 KB), New Jersey or Pennsylvania laws, and safety ambassador protocol. These items will also be mailed to all safety ambassadors before the ride
   
• No first aid knowledge is required

Responsibilities:
You can make a difference. Safety ambassadors help promote safe cycling by serving as role models for safe and courteous cycling behavior during Ride weekends. As an experienced Bike MS cyclist and safety ambassador, you implement what you learned in the Group Riding Skills course and follow the state traffic laws and Bike MS rules. In addition, you become our eyes and ears along the route and help lead our cyclists safely across the finish line. Detailed information and training will be provided at the GRS course and on the conference call

Registration:

The deadline for safety ambassador registration has passed. We hope you will join us as a safety ambassador in 2011. Thanks!
