What it should be all about is; enjoying the ride. Remember the old saying, “It’s not what you ride but THAT you ride!”
Unfortunately any discussion of riding will stir up debate on stereotypical behaviour whether fact or fiction. However, in this case I think it’s fitting to mention a couple of my pet stereotype peeves.
The O/P obviously has never worn a full face helmet. We who do can smell and experience everything that the open face crowd can. Plus, we due so knowing we are better protected then our exposed brother & sister riders. Remember the railroad safety slogan, “Anytime is Train time!” Well, “Anytime can be FACE PLANT time!”
The wife and I had a very enjoyable ride over this past long weekend. We did a big loop from our home on the river over to Brighton, down into the country and then back home. The smell of fresh cut grass, BBQ’s and fresh turned soil was abundant but the most noticeable were the Lilacs in full bloom.
We did come across groups of cyclists and some indeed did ride side by side but only once did one refuse to get into single file as we approached.
However, the number of Harley-esque types riding their Fat Roberts or what-have-you who rode side by each was staggering. Numerous times I witnessed the left hand rider cross the center line or the right hand rider drop wheels off onto the shoulder to keep from hitting each other. And don’t think these are the exception. No! These are more the rule. Don’t believe me? Just spend a couple of hours watching groups come and go from the local hang out. You will
see that all but the “Bros” come and go in staggered formation. I’ve even seen a couple make the turn into the Campbellford Canadian Tire store side by side.
And while I’m on a little rant I’ll let you know now that at some point I’m going to stop and give somebody a bloody good talking to for blowing all their sticks, stones and grass clippings out onto the road just as I ride past them.

This was just too good!
That or if your vents are open that works just as good. Your whole helmet gets rammed air versions of the smells of the country side that way.

I used to do a slow burn following the cellulite train. Now I just giggle. I loves me a good cliche.
That's what the earplugs are for.

I wouldn't have a problem with road bikers if they didn't take a holier than thou approach to the road. If you wanna run 3 wide and risk getting smoked by any number of 3000+ lb moving objects coming from behind you I don't mind. I am on a bike and can easily get by. However, when you decide to yell at me for allegedly speeding please dont expect me to be sympathetic.
They always give you the business about how they have a right to be there blah ****ing blah. One thing I have learned from riding motorcycles is that when you're dead it doesn't matter who's fault it was.

Works just as well with Harley's when their oil leak gets on the headers.
