How to act when going on a group ride

June 29th, 2009

I went on 2 group rides in Indianapolis this weekend and had a really good time. I noticed a number of things that I felt need commenting on.

If you are on a group ride and you are feeling like a 15 year old school girl and have the need to honk at every blocker and anyone who happens to be standing on the sidewalk, please contain yourself. It is just f#@kin dangerous for many reasons besides the fact that you look like a tool.

If you think that putting your turn signal on really makes a difference, you are wrong. Do not bother. I can see the 50 people in front of you. Plus you are going to leave it on anyway. Why bother. Again, it makes you look like a tool.

If someone goes down, it is a 99.999 chance that there is nothing you can do. DO NOT SLOW DOWN & STOP. You are making a bad situation even worse. The people that need to respond will. They can not if there is a jam up of 75 scooters. Plus it makes you look like a tool.
