Courtesy
As a member in good standing, I will:

- void confrontation with motorists, other cyclist or pedestrians even if they are wrong.
Good Sportsmanship

- Respect other cyclists even if they are not members of Major Taylor Cycling Club of Louisiana.
- Refrain from the use of foul language, obscene gestures, physical or verbal abuse or malicious actions towards any person and/or any lewd behavior.
This code cannot comprehensively address all possible scenarios. Rather it should function as a standard of behaviors implemented along with common sense and the principle of what a reasonable person would do in a similar situation. It is the intent of the Major Taylor Cycling Club of Louisiana to promote goodwill and safety for all.
