Group riding can be one of the most enjoyable parts of motorcycling — but it also carries serious risks that many riders underestimate.

In this episode of Better Riding, Michael Mann is joined by expert riding coach Mark McVeigh to challenge long-held group riding advice, including staggered formations, close spacing, and keeping up with the pack.

Drawing on real-world crash examples, aviation-style risk management, and decades of rider coaching experience, Mark explains:

• Why traditional group riding formations often fail
• How peer pressure and mixed abilities increase risk
• The importance of the safety bubble over fixed spacing
• Why even elite riders feel more anxious riding in groups on the road
• Practical tips for safer group rides, communication, and pre-ride planning

Whether you ride with one other biker or in large organised groups, this episode could change the way you ride — and help you get home safely.
