This is the main reason I try not to ride on the weekends as much. Another thing down here are "Jeep Rallys", a couple hundred jeeps nose to tail with arms and legs sticking out every opening. They also tend to have trouble keeping on the roadway and drop 2 tires off the shoulder on every tight turn. The gravel they kick up keeps you on your toes!A fair amount of the cruzer riders we run into out here in the rural areas make up for riding without gear by riding 5-ish mph under the speed limit. Sadly, some of them think the same way as the bicyclists that don't mind holding up long lines of traffic as they "share the road."
Yeah, one of those riders cut me off in the roundabout.A fair amount of the cruzer riders we run into out here in the rural areas make up for riding without gear by riding 5-ish mph under the speed limit.

Lol, ok…I don't appreciate being cut off. That's why I carry a hammer. View attachment 142922
If I could get away with it, I'd carry a sawed off on my back. Lol!
I try to avoid the mindset, "I've been dishonored on the road and therefore must risk life and limb to make you respect ma authoritay!"Lol, ok…

Yep. I’m not interested in biker bravado nonsense.I try to avoid the mindset, "I've been dishonored on the road and therefore must risk life and limb to make you respect ma authoritay!"
Rule # 1: make it home.
I hope your friend recovers well. Never like to hear when fellow riders go down. I'll look into adding some Tagaderm to the medicine cabinet, for when I get taken out by another left turner. It's almost always the left turners! Keep the rubber side down!A guy in one of my bike groups on Facebook went down and got some nasty rash which reminded me, I highly recommend Tegaderm for treatment of sudden introductions between skin and road surfacing materials.
I don't even know the guy, just another member of a Facebook group I'm in. Posted a pic with some nasty road rash and it reminded meI hope your friend recovers well.

One would think that simply wearing some basic gear would have probably saved him that rash, and been cheaper than the medical bills associated with it.Posted a pic with some nasty road rash and it reminded me
