Can I join a paceline?

Pacelining is for experienced cyclists only, so don’t join a paceline unless you’ve practiced before on group rides. Pacelining is for cyclists who are: 1) experienced; 2) able to keep up with the paceline; and 3) able to take a turn in the front. The proper etiquette for joining a paceline is to approach the last rider and shout “On your wheel” so that they know you’re there. Then you’ll gradually move up as the front riders drop off behind you. Once you’re in the lead, pedal hard so you can return the favor to everyone else that led before you.
