The Cheap Place has many wholesale patches for your biker club. These club patches can be given to the founding members, officers, and other deserving members. They help denote who is in charge and who you should talk to if you have a problem with the club or an idea. The Road Captain Patch helps single out who among your members is the road captain. Road captains play a very important part in rides, especially long rides with a lot of people.
Why is the Road Captain such an important member? He is responsible for a lot of different things on road trips. In most cases, he's the one who decides how long the ride will be, where and when the club will stop, and sometimes even the destination. He is also responsible for safety. The Road Captain will stay at a safe speed, let riders know when they're changing lanes, and make certain no one gets left behind. The Road Captain may appoint others to help him and will work closely with the Tail Gunner, the biker who brings up the rear and makes sure no one gets lost. Road Captains have to be aware of any special needs their club members have (like needing to stop to take medication as a specific time), know the route they're taking, and be aware of any road construction or other detours.
The Road Captain patch is done in a stunning red color that stands out and is easy to see. It measures 3.5 by 1 and is perfectly shaped to fit on the front of your vest or jacket. Like all patches on The Cheap Place, this one is designed to be either sewn on or ironed on.
