Comments on: Theme Teaser – That ’70s Ride http://www.sjbikeparty.org/archives/4086 Building community through bicycling Sat, 25 May 2013 00:43:04 -0700 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.1 By: Michelle http://www.sjbikeparty.org/archives/4086/comment-page-1#comment-7073 Michelle Fri, 01 Jul 2011 17:46:37 +0000 http://www.sjbikeparty.org/?p=4086#comment-7073 Hi, Fisrt of all I'd like to thank you for doing such a wonderful job within the community. I look forward to these rides and is so worth the 4hr drive I make to get there. After each ride I go home and share with friends, family and strangers about how much fun this is. My friends and I would like to do something like this in our community and I was wondering if you could give me a little guidance. I've conntacted our city and they suggested some type of liability insurance or attorney written waiver, which is costly. Is there a way I can get around this? We don't want to be Held responsible for any injuries or accidents. I'd appreciate any help, advice or suggestions you can give us. Thank you.

The main SJBP Friday night rides have been starting pretty close to the posted 8pm start time. You’re talking about the test rides, right?

Last test ride started 40 minutes after that posted. Thirty minutes is significant. Twenty minutes is a lot. Ten minutes is appropriately accommodating for those a bit late, and respectful of those planning things after the ride, in my humble opinion. I'm an extreme procrastinator. I like the time padding, but often feel the group is itchin' to start way before we actually do. I find myself increasingly banking on a much later actual start, and that's dangerous for anyone with my temporal affliction. So I'm respectfully calling on ride leaders for truth in advertising regarding start times. If this earlier than usual start time is to accommodate an anticipated 30-40 minute delay, that should be posted. If there will be a meeting or presentation before a start, please mention it. I know first hand how difficult it is to get the group going. Like herding cats. Accurate start times for nighttime rides, and predictable end times for midday weekend rides will encourage more to ride and regularly.

Probably use it for the july and august rides then? cause those have a lot of bikers attending too. That way we have more time to plan it out, I believe. Nonetheless, thanks for the info! Mmm okay.
