| POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
Assistance from Passing
Support Vehicles
Every staff member with
a support vehicle is authorized to provide on road
support as needed in the midst of
cyclists on the road, whether or not SAG dispatch
had been previously called.
Whenever any official support vehicle passes any
rider, the staff member will naturally be paying
attention
to see if you need assistance, so make sure to yell,
wave your arms, jump up and down, etc. to catch our
attention if necessary. Don't worry about whether
you're supposed to have your thumbs down, thumbs
up, pat your head and rub your stomach etc. to catch
the attention of a support vehicle because you're
not going to remember what you're "supposed" to
do on the road anyway. If you are standing on the
side
of the road and with your bicycle upside down the
driver will always stop and check to make sure everything
is OK.
Support vehicles will assume that everything is
OK and will not necessarily stop unless you specifically
indicate
for him to do so.
All assistance from support vehicles will
be logged to ensure quality future SAG support.
