ATV Safety
by Matt on December 22, 2006
While group riding on the street, motorcycles should ride in a staggered formation, with the lead motorcycle on the left side of the lane, the next on the right side, then the left and so on. This will increase the safety cushion between riders, allows everyone to see ahead, and prevents the risks of side by side riding.
Keep in mind that it's not illegal (in Ca) to ride side by side, (i.e. share lanes) with any other vehicle that fits safely in that lane with another vehicle. (This is the reasoning behind the fact that it is legal for motorcycles to split lanes, under certain circumstances and if done safely.) I often ride side by side, but only with riders I've ridden with for a long time. So far that includes only my wife and my brother. I don't trust anyone else.
