What do you mean "we"? I am a cyclist but I do not consider myself as part of "your" community. That's your construct, and if you want to live within that, that's fine. I see a "me" when I ride on the road; when I am disrespected or put in danger I fire off a finger and let it go.

You never answered my question - when you (not your team, pay attention to context here) are disrespected by a group ride, what do you do about it?
You are tons of laughs on a hump-day morning!

When I am disrespected on the road? I use a booming voice to call it out, post a video to YouTube, and contact the correct authority. I have been doing this for a number of years with great success. I wasn't riding with a GoPro the day I got run off the road, otherwise I'd share that with you.

There isn't 'my team', my team is simply me, myself, and I. I am involved my community and there are a large number of teams in Minneapolis, I ride with these teams at a number of races through the year. I know the people that lead the teams, they keep high standards.

Interesting you are involved on BF since your not part of this community.
