[svccridesupdate] Verbal and Hand Warning Signals

Thank you, Steve. I found the Riders Information section on the club site really interesting,  especially the section about  cyclists not having priority on the canal towpath which I wasn’t aware of.Ride etiquette should be perfect from now on, no excuses!Best wishes AnneSent from my Galaxy ——– Original message ——–From: Steve Brawley <steve49.brawley@gmail.com> Date: 29/11/2025 13:09 (GMT+00:00) To: Stroud Valleys Cycling Club <svccridesupdate@googlegroups.com> Cc: steve49.brawley@gmail.com Subject: [svccridesupdate] Verbal and Hand Warning Signals Good afternoon,When I went on my first ride with the club I was rather bemused by the barrage of calls of “Car down”, “Car up”, “Holes” etc.There were also quite a few different uses of hands to point out hazards, signal an approaching runner or parked car etc.After a few rides I started to understand these signals but your committee agreed that it would be helpful, particularly to new members, to publish some information on the club website.So if you go to the Riders Information section here:stroudvalleyscyclingclub.org.ukand scroll down to Verbal and Hand Warning Signals you will see both types of warning covered, including a nice video from GCN and a good article.With best wishes,Steve – Safeguarding OfficerSent from my iPad
