If it doesn’t hit you, it’s not too close;
Keep a fixed grin (or is it grimace?) at all times ;
Keep up a steady speed, fast enough so folks can’t hop on the back for a ‘lifti’, but not so fast as to skid in hidden sand patches;
Be prepared to hold conversations with strangers whilst peddling along;
Keep up a near constant stream of greetings to those you pass by;
Keep left! (avoiding children, chickens, potholes..)
If you have less wheels than me, when I ring my bell get out of my way! (This is my most favourite rule).
