Motorcycle · Group riding
When you ride with a group, who should take the first and last positions?
Correct answer: Riders who have plenty of experience.
Answer options
- AAnyone, because experience does not matter there
- BRiders who have plenty of experience Correct
- CBeginners, because those spots give more room to maneuver
Why
The leader chooses the route and watches for hazards ahead, and the tail rider keeps track of the whole group from behind, so both jobs call for experienced riders. Beginners are better placed near the front, just behind the leader.
