Our simple request is that you wear a helmet when you ride with us. Easy. Cheap. Harms no one. Same thing with a set of flashers. If you can not follow our simple request, then you are not riding with us, but against us and do not rate the courtesy we would grant a stranger(And I have repaired more bikes for strangers than most people will ever own).
