ornoth_cyclingDon’t yell at cyclists for riding too fast on the bike path when they’re coasting along at 14 mph. That’s like scolding a child for shouting when they were only whispering. You might note that making such complaints when you’re walking (with your dog) on the wrong side of the bike path, directly into oncoming traffic is bad form.
Okay, we know you want to let everyone know you’re not one of those crazy cyclists, but if your chain squeals like a family of screech owls with Tourette’s being gang-raped from behind, you might consider putting a drop of oil on that puppy. It might make pedaling a bit easier for you, and save the hearing of dozens of dogs.
Don’t draft the postman’s truck. Nuff said?
Don’t call a charity ride a “race”. If you and some friends caravaned, driving three cars down to Maryland for a wedding, you wouldn’t call it a “race”, would you?
