Hey all,
I've passed people who are strung out and letting them know I'm passing and they yell ahead to warn the next rider in their group. I dislike being labeled as someone who is rude, crude and hard to deal with. I'm from Lubbock, Tx and one of the sayings they have there is to "drive friendly". It applies to every type of transportation.
Sometimes, it is hard to know if someone heard you when they are wearing headphones. If waiting for oncoming bikes to pass so I can pass, I try to let people know that they are ok. I don't want anyone going off trail on my account. I don't want to be the person responsible for their falling.
Have a great ride!!
