With news being announced today that The American Legion Riders Department of Kansas, lost one of their Riders due to an accident during The Legacy Ride, I have already started hearing rumors swirling about the details. While the majority of us are unaware of the details, please wait for that release before you share information.
This has also brought attention to safety issues and concerns during past Legacy Rides. While I cannot address all of those concerns, I can address the one being talked about most right now.
BLOCKING TRAFFIC
In the State of Florida, blocking traffic using our own Riders is illegal. Period.
Remember when planning your rides, take into account the size of your group, if you need to break into multiple groups to navigate high traffic/lights areas, then thatβs what we need to do to avoid those situations.
Safety during our rides is paramount and should be at the forefront of Road Captains and Riders minds at all times. We strive to start and end each ride with all riders arriving safely to their destination.
