Doug Wintin, Touring
Continuation of last month's discussion about non-traditional bikes in club rides such as aero bars, e-bikes, tandem bikes and recumbent bikes.  Doug said he researched how other clubs handle non-traditional bikes on club rides.  Doug would like to add language about the usage of aero bars would be at discretion of the tour director and respective ride leaders with a focus on safety of the group.  For this year, Doug would like to have recumbent bikes at the back of the group, with discretion up to the touring director and respective ride leaders.  If the ride leader is comfortable, then Doug will help the ride leader designate their ride that Shane can also ride in the front of the group.  There was also discussion how to handle other types of non-traditional bikes such as tandems, trikes, hand crank-bikes and e-bikes. 

Patrick made a motion:  For the rest of 2019, for designated rides, recumbent bikes can ride in front or back.  For any other rides, recumbent rides must ride in the back.  Vote:  7 agreed, 4 disagreed.  Motion passed.
