The lead rider takes the left side of the lane and the second bike takes the right side of the lane. This pattern continues as necessary for the group. Riders should maintain their relative position in the lane during the ride. Riders should avoid &#8220;rubberbanding&#8221; as much as possible. Rubber banding is the tendency for the group to continually stretch out and contract as riders allow the 1 second intervals to vary significantly. Especially in heavy traffic this makes it very difficult to keep the group together as cage (car) drivers will tend to split the group.<\/p><p>Note: This pattern of riding is discussed in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.msf-usa.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Motorcycle Safety Foundation<\/span><\/a> document QUICK TIPS: <a style=\"color: #ff6600;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.msf-usa.org\/downloads\/Group_Ride.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MSF\u2019s Guide to Group Riding.<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f543046 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f543046\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-bce71f4\" data-id=\"bce71f4\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-10fd6e9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"10fd6e9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"171\" src=\"https:\/\/southernthunderhog.com\/wpsthd\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Staggered_Formation_01-900x200-1024x228-768x171.png\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-247\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/southernthunderhog.com\/wpsthd\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Staggered_Formation_01-900x200-1024x228-768x171.png 768w, https:\/\/southernthunderhog.com\/wpsthd\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Staggered_Formation_01-900x200-1024x228-300x67.png 300w, https:\/\/southernthunderhog.com\/wpsthd\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Staggered_Formation_01-900x200-1024x228.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Back to How We Ride Staggered Formation Staggered formation is multiple bikes riding in the same lane while alternating positions in that lane.
