Bunch Riding Etiquettes
Hi guys,
I'm currently writing a piece about Bunch Riding Etiquettes. Rather than just listing and describing the etiquettes which we all know about, I'm planning to include real life experiences.
I'm looking for a brief 3-4 sentences describing your experience. Full credit will be given to you and your website/social profiles/etc.
Send me a PM and I'll get more details across.
Cheers.

Realizing reality is real, reduce rider's risks in respecting random recreationalists.

He asked about etiquette; not alliteration.

Often the focus of bike "etiquette" is on the rider in front of another rider and includes such things as signalling with your hand and voice. While this is nice, I think the focus should be on the rider behind another bike. So the best etiquette advice I can could give is to make sure you leave space between you and the rider in front of you and to pay attention to them. If you do those two things, you won't need to rely on signals and warnings. The rider behind should announce passing (On your left) and almost never pass on the right. All riders should maintain a steady pace and straight line. Finally, follow the three rules of bike safety: Be visible, be predictable and be lawful. Good luck.

When eating on the bike, it is ok to eat any part of chicken with your hands, utensils are not required.

Just go to the Road Cycling forum and read the thread entitled "We're going to yell at you," it will tell you all you need to know (and then some).

Looking for etiquette here is like looking for a lobster dinner in the trash. Good luck with that.

Two main instances:
1. A leisurely group ride folks are doing for good times.
2. A race or hammerfest.
Both have different rules. Which are you interested in?

Spicy enchiladas are delicious,
The gas you get can be quite vicious,
Let 'em rip in a bunch,
WTF you eat for lunch,
Smells so bad some consider it malicious.

I first saw this thread before the morning coffee kicked in. I thought the title read "Brunch."

If you think I'm to close to your wheel or you don't want me on your wheel, then just tell me. Don't blow snot rockets as a not so subtle message.

Pick the post ride pub/cafe/restaurant in advance, to avoid an argument at the end.
