    • You wish to ride with one or more other people
    • You do not know how to change a flat tire
    • You forgot your cell phone
    • It is not Tuesday
  • You should always ride with other people unless:
    • You prefer to ride alone
    • No one else will ride with you
    • Other riders are too fast, too slow, too old, too young or just plain too . . .
  • You should absolutely wear a mask, unless you prefer not to.
    • If you do wear a mask,  red is better than blue, black is not as good as gray, green is weird and white is always the same.
