In a group ride, to pass safely, rider B should:

• A. Move to the left of rider A
• B. Return to the right portion of the lane behind rider A
• C. Cut in between Rider A and Rider C
• D. Wait until you are behind Rider C

Answer: (B)

In a group ride, staying in a predictable, stable line is key for safety. When you need to pass a rider, you should do so in a controlled way and then reestablish your position where you can be seen and won’t crowd the riders behind you. The best approach is to pass on the left side of the rider you’re overtaking, then return to the right portion of the lane behind that rider. This keeps the group in a clean stagger, preserves space for riders following, and avoids breaking formation or squeezing between riders. Moving to the left and staying there, or weaving between riders, or trying to slot ahead of someone else disrupts visibility and spacing and increases risk. Waiting behind a later rider doesn’t address safely passing the first rider and maintaining the group’s formation.
