Important Gears Girls Safety Information - Please read!

Hi Girls.
 
I was just told by one of the Gears staff members that last week one of the staff at Gears witnessed a cyclist in a Gears Girls kit running several stop lights while on her bike. Please note that this is totally unacceptable behaviour and is not condoned by the club or by Gears Bike Shop.  It's hard enough to get drivers to take road cyclists seriously and treat them with respect while on the road...it doesn't help having our own club members disregarding the rules of the road and further aggravating a large group of already aggravated drivers.  This also reflects very badly on the club and on Gears Bike Shop. Remember...you're highly visible on the road when wearing a Gears Girls kit and you're representing not only the club but also Gears Bike Shop.
 
Myself, along with all of the Gears staff and club supporters make safety the number one priority on ALL Gears Girls and Gears club rides. Members that continue to blatantly disregard the rules of the road may be asked to leave the club.

If you have any questions regarding road safetly, rules of the road, etc. please don't hesitate to ask me, the other ride leaders or any of the Gears Bike Shop staff.
 
Thanks for your attention.
