Dude. Seriously. Do you complain this loudly about the elitism of fast food restaurants and their 'No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service' signs? It's a shirt, fer cripes sake. Were you raised by wolves or something?

And since I'm not a lawyer, I didn't waste my time trying to lawyer an answer to that. Maybe a paceline is illegal because they're "tailgating," but I don't care...just so long as you aren't doing it to me uninvited when I'm out for a ride that started without you.
Stay on topic, friend. There's plenty enough threadjacking going on here with Larry and his elitism.

Wolves don't crash, bro. When was the last time you saw a wolf with a surgically removed vertebrate due to a dumb accident?

If you showed up to a mountain bike ride shirtless, you'd at least be an idiot. I don't really know about the other two.

Whatever I just finished a group ride and they were cheering me on when I went off the front. The actual fast racers dont care that I don't wear a shirt. Only Freds with faster bikes than they need get upset. They just want me in a helmet which I don't like but what can you do (I bring it on my handlebars and put it on for the ride.)
