I think when anyone does anything be it professional or recreational safety should be top priority. I believe when others dont conceive whats around them and take responsible approaches, safety gets jeopordised all the way around.

If I am approaching people, I will ring my bell regardless of if they possess the same mirror I have, what type of road/trail we are on etc because there is no guarantee they are looking in their mirror or even playing music as I am approaching. I dont over ring it, just enough so they "hear" me coming and in my view if they not only "hear" me but "see" me as well from that wonderful mirror then in fact they are twice as safe imo....

Ive learned in life never to expect anything from anyone when it comes to outside the box lol..I like others use my mirror accordingly but there are times I dont see the Lance wannabees coming. And when they are approaching that quick in that zone, lol, holding that line , in that box so to speak lol im sorry Etiquette is thrown right out the window imo so no I dont expect that in return...

But it doesnt annoy me because I realize there are three groups of riders....1) Recreationalists, 2) Cyclists, 3)Hybrids...

Each holds their own level of ettiqutte, Each holds their own destiny...
