3. QUICK RULES:
3.1– When replying to others – especially those with whom you disagree – imagine you’re having a face-to-face conversation, and ponder how differently you would interact with those people while in the same room, looking each other in the eye, as opposed to a few miles away with limited comeback.

A Unity member  must be a member of at least one cycling group as stated above. A Unity member must be added to one of the stated cycling teams. Nobody in Unity is lone-ranger, Lone Wolf is dangerous because of their anti-social inclination.There is a strong tendency for a lone wolf to show distructive social behaviour.
