As with other mechanical bike cyclists, SFCC fosters their riders to practice good judgement, common sense and fair play while riding on club rides. It is deemed good form to ride at the pace of the others and considered poor etiquette for safety reasons to pass regular bike riders up a hill with a huge disparity in speed. It is SFCC's understanding that the E-bike may help the social rider who can't keep up with friends anymore, the rider who may be suffering through health problems, and bring new riders into cycling's tribe and strengthen the cycling community as a whole.
