One pet peeve of mine when leading club rides is when experienced riders would stop and block the road when someone had a mechanical.
On one organized club metric I had to pass 3 guys who were changing a flat in the roadway when there was at least 6’ of nice grass to accomplish that.
It’s amazing how so many people don’t realize how their actions affect others.
