the universe works in mysterious ways, im pretty confidant that them telling me to get a helmet and me telling them to **** off was related to the crash. IDK if god is real but the universe appreciates irony, might be scared into wearing a helmet. They were super nice for the most part, one guy even asked to take my picture because im a wild man, was shirtless on a hybrid. https://imgur.com/gallery/FmANBH0 pic of myself after crash. Bikes in worse shape

Also even though I didn't ride with them I was still helpful I think, I swept and encouraged the few riders strung off the back and offered to pull them back to the group, notified the real sweeper a few times when they had dropped someone.
