- Before planning a group ride the riders must devise a plan for the road communication.
- While riding the bike,never fix your eyes  on the biker infront of you because when you will keep on staring at them you will begin to follow him and if the biker infront of you goes off road or falls from the bike you will do the same. You should keep a 2 second distance from the biker infront of you because if anything wrong happens to him than you might atleast go to save him and also you wont face the same problem. You will be able to call for some help from others.
- Its important to maintain a cohesive group. And by a cohesive group I mean that every rider shouldn’t ride their bikes side by side. In the road they will have to maintain some distance,for this reason its safer to pass one by one.

- As I have said in the first part that group riding does gives a feeling of competition.

- Weather plays another important role in the group riding. When its summer, try to avoid the middle part of the day as it will be really sunny and because of the helmet,heat you might get tired and even sick, so you wont be able to enjoy the group ride.
