I think the the subject here is what Little Big Man said” The next time I speak to someone, I am going to think: is what I'm going to say going to help them, or hurt them? Will it encourage them, or bring them down?”
So I purpose to all: When someone is a novice rider do you tell him that he sucks. No I say! I compliment him on something that he does well, tell him I was there and what I did to improve and then blow right past him on my bike.
Different situation entirely. I'd tell him that it's worth a PowerBar if he can keep up with me without having a coronary...
