I wish I didn’t have to write this message. But I’ve heard reports from several people that they have seen groups of cyclist on the road. This is not ok.

• It’s not safe for the community. You can spread COVID when you don’t know you have it. You risk the lives of others including those on the front lines of this pandemic.

• It’s against the law. The law states - Non-essential gatherings of individuals of any size for any reason (e.g. parties, celebrations or other social events) are canceled or postponed at this time

• It adds to “cyclist bad reputation” in the community. It gives people another reason to dislike cyclists.

• If it continues, it could be illegal to even ride solo. Paris has made it illegal to do any outdoor exercise.

Let’s do our part and only ride solo or with family members that you live with. We can help stop the spread of COVID-19.
