Code of Conduct

It is the goal of the RAC, in collaboration with each Ride Across California participant and volunteer, to provide a healthy, safe, secure and enjoyable environment for all.  Participants and Volunteers are expected to model our core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility at all times.

The RAC is a ride, not a race.

All riders agree to meet the following RAC Expectations:

  • Ride predictably, not competitively

  • Ride as an example for all 5th graders

  • Wear helmets

  • Wear name tags front and back

  • Wear yellow fluorescent vests or jerseys

  • No cell phone use while riding

  • No earbuds or headphones

  • Be punctual

  • No smartphones on 5th graders’ handlebars

  • Do not pass the leader

  • Follow the Rules of The Road:

    • Single file at all times; no overlapping tires

    • Stop individually at all stop signs and traffic lights

    • Use hand signals and communicate

  • Respect the Attendance Requirements

  • Respect volunteers and communities

  • Rules are not up for discussion
