Funny. In the first sentence you mock "safety" and in the next you suggest that it would be a struggle for me to do anything to increase the safety of the cycling community.

FYI: Sitting up is asking politely for a person to get off your wheel if you are uncomfortable with them being there as they may or may not be a danger to you or themselves or both. Showing up unannounced is a clear demonstration of that. There is a reason why it is frowned upon the world over.

Any experienced rider knows this.



Being a dick or behaving badly can often be described as jumping on a wheel without notifying the person doing the pulling that you are there. It is considered rude by the cycling community at large.

Ironic, non?
