GOT'M Rides

ImageGirls On The Move (GOT’M) rides are for the enjoyment of GOT’M members. Guests are welcome to join the rides and enjoy the ride according to the spirit of the Club.

GOT’M has a focus on ensuring new members are welcomed and feel included at any of our rides. We also actively encourage those riders who are learners or getting back on two wheels. Incorporated into the rides are coffee and lunch breaks where a lot chatting goes on about the ride, bikes, clothing and our experiences etc.

So you can get a feel of GOT’Ms approach, riders are split into three groups, experienced, intermediate and new riders. Each group has a lead rider (someone who knows the way) and the new rider group also has a tail end Charlene. On long rides we have corner markers making sure that no one gets lost.

When splitting the group up into three, we ask each group to move together so that they can identify each other. Plus, each ride leader identifies themselves and make sure they know who is in their group. We remind each group to keep an eye out for each other and if someone goes missing, we slow down and wait for their light to show in our mirrors or go look for them in the unlikely case something may have happened.

 
Count Those Cars

Car Count

In traffic you need to car count. This is a method of paying attention to all the vehicles around you. For example if there was a blue sedan behind me and a white car beside that. When I look again which should be very regularly but not to distraction I notice that there is only a white car. I then need to find where the blue sedan has gone. Is it on my rear quarter, Is it overtaking me, has it seen me.If you can not locate the car in an effective check then it has turned off. You must always know where all vehicles are around you at all times.

Counting cars pay's off.

 

 
Motor Cyclists Tips


A few tips

A few things to remember

*Check your mirrors and over your shoulder before changing lanes.       

*Overtake carefully without speeding or swerving too much.       

*Ride at a speed that will let you react to the unexpected in time.       

*Be careful on curves and ride at the advised limit.       

*Be prepared to stop at intersections.       

*Make yourself visible; wear bright colours.       

*Wear a Standards Approved helmet with an AS1698 sticker.       

*Don’t ride when tired; riding a bike is more tiring than driving a car.       

*Position yourself so others can see you, and avoid being in someone’s blind spot.
