This is a continuation of sorts of a rant I have going on the So Cal thread.... I always signal while turning right, left or stopping even if alone, even if no one is around, always. Why? Because its a good habit to have and you never know who is around (cops included). Not only do I signal but I also call out when passing etc. Just seems like all the young whipper snappers think they are too cool to do any of that anymore and the multi-trails and streets around here are becoming dangerous. I am an experienced rider. I can't tell you how many near misses I have had lately with large group of bike gangs flying by without a word or signal. Can't tell you how many motorist I've seen have to jam on brakes because some idiot doesn't stop for a light or sign or indicate a direction change.

It must be just something old folks/experienced riders do anymore. In my long ride last week, while starting out I got angry at how rude I thought other cyclists were. Once I got into the hilly Canyon, where usually only experience riders go, it got better and people were calling out and signalling.

I would love to explain to young folks, you think you look hot but by your actions, I know you are a poser!

Rant over - off to ride!!!

Have a great weekend!
