What precautions should be taken when riding in a group?

Maintaining space and following the leader's signals is crucial for safety when riding in a group. This practice helps ensure that each rider has enough room to maneuver safely without colliding with others. It allows riders to maintain visibility and react appropriately to hazards or changes in the road conditions. Following the leader’s signals is essential because it provides clear communication about turns, stops, and any changes in speed, which is critical in keeping the group organized and preventing confusion. This coordinated approach minimizes the risk of accidents and fosters a safer riding experience for everyone involved.
