SAFETY

SafetyRIDERS

• Riders must follow Missouri laws while on public roads.• The highway patrol or other law enforcement may write tickets

if you ride illegally, and your bikes may be impounded. If your bikes are impounded, you may need proof of ownership to recover them.

• Be mindful of traffic coming from adjacent gravel roads because drivers may have difficulty seeing you. Even when you have the right-away, be aware that you might not be seen.

• When making a left turn, watch not only for on-coming traffic but also for traffic from behind that might be attempting to pass you. Use all proper hand signals when turning right or left or slowing or stopping.

• Ride to the right side of your lane. • Make sure you carry water and have the right equipment and

gear for a long, summertime ride.• Carry a personal ID with you at all times.• Retrieve your luggage by 8:00 P.M. every night. If any bags are

unspoken for, we will alert safety personnel. • Use reflective tape or lights on your bike, and on bags that might

cover up your built-on bike reflectors.• You will find first-aid stations at rest stops.• Please ask the Big BAM crew members or local volunteers if you

have any questions – they will be wearing safety vests.• Do not count on cell service all along the route. There may be gaps

in coverage.• Stay along the designated route to ensure safety. • Unlawful or disruptive behavior along the route or in the commu-

nities we are visiting will be reported. • Ride in groups and have a “buddy system” in place.• Beer garden operators reserve the right to refuse service to any

riders they believe are unfit to bicycle.

SAFETY

Sag Vehicles• Each day there will be a lead vehicle and an end/support

vehicle and other support vehicles in between. They will be able to help riders with basic bicycle repair, basic first aid, and transport to the next town or night stop if needed.

Private Support Vehicles • Supporters and private support vehicles are asked to take

a different route than the cyclists.

Check the daily news• There will be a large display screen present in each

overnight community that will give evening and morning safety updates such as: anticipated weather, road condi-tions, maps, and safety tips.

SAFETY

What to do if caught in the open during a tornado• Find shelter in the nearest sturdy building.• Do not try to outrun a tornado.• Avoid areas with a lot of trees.• Stay away from overpasses or bridges.• The safest place to be is in a flat location near the ground.• Lie down in the lowest place you can find – typically a ditch is the

best option. Lie flat, with your face towards the ground and cover your head with your arms.

• Avoid power lines and puddles with power lines nearby, or down power lines.

• Keep your group together and wait for emergency personnel to arrive if needed.

• Remain calm and listen for instructions from emergency person-nel if they are on the scene.

What to do if caught in the open during a thunder storm• If you hear thunder, find the closest shelter. If none is in sight, get

to the lowest elevation available.• Avoid puddles and being close to water.• Do not get close to an isolated structure – such as trees, fences,

and telephone poles.• Put distance between your metal bike and yourself.• If you are with many people, spread out! Keep a distance of at

least 50-100 feet between each person.• Get in the “lightning crouch” position. Assume a squatting posi-

tion, with your head tucked towards your chest or in between your knees. Do not lie down on the ground, as this is more surface area for lightning to strike.

• Keep your eyes closed and cover your ears.

SAFETY

Emergency Shelters• Most communities will have a designated shelter in case of

emergencies.
