I looked back at him and yelled, "don't even think of it!! PASS ON THE LEFT! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?" And tons of people passed me on my right, on my left without a word etc.. some simple bike rules that others need to learn before ever attempting to ride with 2000+ people - pass on the left and let them know you are coming. <br /><br />OK, enough of my rant. <br /><br />Great Job YOU!!Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14297628797036891814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1453703578407612912.post-46081495327047012252010-05-17T18:32:56.325-04:002010-05-17T18:32:56.325-04:00some solo rider moron came flying by on the outsid...<i>some solo rider moron came flying by on the outside without communicating with any one with the simple courtesy of "on your left" and somehow took himself and Cary out (in the middle of a pack of riders)</i><br /><br />Asshat!<br /><br />Know what I hate about asshats?

It was a windy day. Way to stick it out.

It is really to bad that not every biker gets or understands the rules and etiquette of riding. Cheers to your wife for picking you up! You made the right move by cutting the ride short:) Have a great week!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01016242849142019105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1453703578407612912.post-65553977430350749272010-05-16T21:22:37.819-04:002010-05-16T21:22:37.819-04:00Sometimes I will ride/run with an ipod but I keep ...Sometimes I will ride/run with an ipod but I keep my volume low so I can actually hear what is happening around. Yes, that means that I often miss quieter portions of music but I don't want to wreck my ears or miss warning calls that somebody is passing me. <br />Hope your nose is fine.<br />Good call on stopping before getting injured.Ewahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17005438284707424779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1453703578407612912.post-46072839624985855642010-05-16T20:40:20.852-04:002010-05-16T20:40:20.852-04:00Cyclists riding with ipods make me crazy!
