I wear a helmet, therefore I'm superfast.
I often ride without a helmet and just because of that I see more cocky attitude in a day than you guys see all year but you'll never see me whining about it on the forum.
There is nothing like riding in a group (or club, or team or whatever you call it). You just have to find the right group for you. Yes, some people will try to drop you, but that's part of the fun and it makes you stronger. I've spend quite a bit of time among competitive athletes and the attempts to kick my arse, the swear words etc. don't bother me at all. Real men should be able to deal with all that - all you need is balls and some self-confidence.

BTW, crashes do happen. These guys didn't go down because they wanted to piss you off.
