Designed with the new rider in mind, this section provides essentials for the beginning group cyclist. Start with Ten Tips for Group Riding. Check out our 3C's and Brake for Safety - Maybe Not articles for a little common sense that goes a long way toward avoiding accidents.
For some good hints about proper nutrition for our longer rides, check out the Fueling for a Strong Century article by Hilary Warner. Cycling is great exercise and a lot of fun, but you must keep your body fueled and hydrated.
GSW Night Riding Guidelines - for those of you riding at night or just on dark winter days with poor visibility, please check out and follow these guidelines for your own safety.
A brochure from the State of NH Bike-Ped Committee is aimed at both bicyclists and motorists. Called Road Hog / Road Warrior, it is available in PDF format on this web site.
Many resources for bicycling education are available by visiting the web site for the League of American Bicyclists. Their League Cycling Program with certified instructors and on-line educational information provide a wealth of knowledge. The GSW is pleased to be affiliated with this national organization as we attempt to further bicycling education for both the bicyclist and the motorist.
