We ride in large numbers and move as a unit. Staying organized is paramount to a safe ride.
Here are the tried and true Pineapple rules for a successful ride.
1. Safety
Safety is our number one priority. Bells and lights are required. Helmets are mendatory.
2. Single File When Necessary
Cars have blind spots. When instructed by the Pineapple crew, form a single file to ensure everyone's safety.
3. Don’t Block
During stops, be aware of your surroundings. Don’t block cross walks, side walks and any pedestrian paths. If you hear “Don’t Block” then move out of the way.
4. Communicate Hazards
Shout out hazards loudly and clearly. Yell “glass” for broken glass, “pothole” for potholes, “car” for approaching vehicles, and “clear” if an intersection is safe to cross.
5. No Running Red Lights
Do not run red lights unless instructed by Pineapple guides managing traffic or any emergency personal. We will occasionally direct traffic to ensure a safe crossing.
6. Be Courteous
Kindness and respect go a long way. Use “please” and “thank you” as we interact with each other and the public.
7. No Littering
Keep our city clean. You carry it in, you carry it out.
8. No Rider Left Behind
If you see anyone falling behind, please let one of our guides know.
9. Follow the Guides
Follow the instructions of the Pineapple crew. At intersections and turns, a Pineapple crew member will direct riders. If unsure, continue straight. This helps ensure no one falls behind and maintains the group's momentum.
10. Enjoy the Ride
Have fun and embrace the spirit of adventure. This ride will have its ups and downs, both literally and figuratively. Remember, you can't have one without the other! Take a deep breath through your nose, count to five, and exhale through your mouth.
