When I'm taking the mtn bike out, I get "be careful and don't hurt yourself". The closest I get to a free pass is on the road bike and I get "be careful and have fun".
I used to get some of that, then my wife realized what she was doing and changed to, "Tear up the road" which, at my speed, isn't likely to happen. Nowadays, she mostly rides with me on a tandem so we mutually tear up the road to the extent we can.
