ATTENTION ALL RIDERS
TOUR DALLAS ROUTE SAFETY INFORMATION
PLEASE READ
We have gone to great lengths and expense to provide for the safety of
all our participants – but the biggest factor controlling rider
safety is under the control of the rider. We would like to fully inform
you of our plans for ride day so that you can be fully prepared.
1) This bike ride is a TOUR. It is NOT a race. Please be mindful
of that fact.
2) W e will not be keeping track of “who finished first”
nor will we be awarding prizes based upon finish time or placement.
3) ALL of our routes overlap at one or more points. Please be kind
and courteous when encountering riders who are slower or less experienced.
Communicate with them about passing by calling out your intentions. Be
prepared to repeat your statements until they are heard and understood.
4) We WILL provide a Dallas Police escort/lead for the first group
of riders on the route UNTIL they merge back into the main route at Ellsworth.
This lead escort is provided so that the Dallas
Police officers working the intersections will know that the ride is coming
through and to make sure that you do not enter an intersection without
assistance. The escort will drop off at Ellsworth. From
that point on, those cyclists are expected to cooperate with the other
cyclists on the route.
5) Please obey the instructions given by the Dallas Police officers
along the route. At times, they will need to stop the bicycle traffic
in order to clear the intersections – or to allow a DART Train to
pass.
6) Our Break Points are positioned so that you can take a break along
the route. Please be careful when stopping. Get your bicycle off the roadway
and be mindful of the traffic around you. Be careful when getting back
on the bike and when you move back into the route. Calling out your intentions
to those around you is always a good idea.
7) Please remember our opening statement. This is Tour Dallas,
and that is exactly what we hope you do. Have a fun ride, enjoy the scenery
and the company as we all ride together to defeat inactivity.
