People who ride RAGBRAI do so at their own pace. No matter who you are, you are going to pass another rider or you will be passed by another rider. Communication is essential, especially when starting, stopping or passing. Most crashes on RAGBRAI involve two or more bicycles and most are the result of riders not letting others know of their intentions.
