Reply To: Awkward Moment. What do you do?

Mind your own business and go ride your own ride.  Sorry to be harsh, but he is enjoying his ride and you are judging.  Share one of those cigarettes, relax, it’s not your place.  I think it’s rude when people try to force their perceived “safety comfort zone” rules on others in a public place.  If it’s your land or your organized ride then it can be your rules.

The problem with even what seem like common sense rules is where do you draw the line?  Just because you ride in a helmet does not mean I should.  If you ride a full-face should I?  Is it OK to wear short socks, no gloves, dark clothing?  Maybe I think being clipped in is dangerous and I look down on your from my moral high ground of flat pedals.  I don’t even agree with mandatory seat belts.  I am not arguing whether or not these things work I just don’t believe in forcing my ideas on others.

 

2 cents.  Hope it didn’t come off as angry.
