Ride is a loop
(Find People in the pink vests please don’t approach Bike Play performers themselves as they need to focus on their work). We need calm, kind corkers to help with Bike play. By helping it allows the performers to focus on their preparation for the next scene and relax and breathe a little more. By helping it also allows the families who turn up in large numbers to also relax riding with their children. For many people this will be there only Pedalpalooza bike ride. How to cork basics, This ride emanates happy energy so drivers react and the ride is well received. General attitude: Engage with drivers kindly and thank them for waiting. Letting drivers know from a distance with hand gestures that it will just be a short delay. Please don’t crowd drivers by parking right on their bumper or riding up too their windows (they can feel intimidated by us no matter how friendly we are). Please don’t race through the group to get back to the front and become a risk factor for those around you (difficult to balance when you’re needed at the front but we also need to be careful around all the beginner riders). 1/Ride ahead of the group stopping on side streets to communicate with oncoming traffic. 2/Ride ahead of the group to the next busy intersection and try and direct cars from not turning onto the road. 3/Do not cork magor intersections until asked by the lead corker or Bike Play. We need to make sure we’re regrouped before corking the busier roads, 4/When waiting for Bike Play to pass over main intersections please wait for the very last riders too pass before stopping corking. 5/ Take care of yourself as well. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or triggered by a car interaction, please take time to regulate your emotions. We need to make sure we’re in a calm space. 6/ Enjoy hearing people yell, ‘ thank you corker’ and watching all the smiling faces ride by.
