I don't understand why you need to wear a helmet on a group ride.

I dig it...sounds like a guy who's ridden a few miles, and had time to think about what's truly important.

What's the consensus on "Always waving at other cyclists"?
I once saw a funny sticker in SF "Just because we both ride bikes that doesn't make us friends.”. |

Other people don't want to feel responsible for your TBI when they inadvertently crash you. They aren't 100% responsible, but it alleviates worries they will have to scrape your twitching corpse off the tarmac.

nah- other people don't want their anxieties devalued by someone who doesn't share them. it's uncomfortably pride-threatening.

It's two things. Culture and Liability. If dudes expect you to wear a helmet, wear a helmet. It's not like there are any rules against wearing jorts or tank tops. Wear and ride what you want, but wear a helmet. As for liability, municipalities who deploy costly resources when responding to crashes on group rides expect all participants to use all the necessary safety equipment, ie, helmets.

I think this is probably the best argument. I just don't agree with it. I have to wear something because of your emotional fragility?

Shock horror, I even wave to people on skateboards and rollerblades, I even wave to people in cars

If you don't wear a helmet and you go down that's on you. Everyone knows the inherent risks of riding, especially in group rides. It's a matter of when, not if.

music was annoying. list starts at 1:05 if you want, but here's the break down:
1 - have fun 2 - wear what you want 3 - nothing on your bike/body has to match 4 - gran fondo something...... 5 - pedestrians > cyclists > cars - obey traffic laws 6 - wave 7 - helmets on group rides, otherwise you do you 8 - strava - don't get butthurt 9 - don't litter 10 - don't have to ride if you don't wanna 11 - don't be a jerk |
