Acceptable behaviour in races

[Scott24]

Hi all

 

 

 

What is considered correct and polite behaviour of cyclists after a crash? Should the person responsible for the crash stop to check that the mound of cyclists left is ok or is it acceptable to pedal off into the distance without even a glance behind them?

 

 

 

Angry crash victim!!!!

If he does that , I hope you are able to get on your bike - follow him and give him a goeie moer!! He should stay behind and clean up the crap he caused - thats how it should be,

Is it considered acceptable behaviour to ride purposely slow to do "sight seeing"??

I assume you are talking about roadies here . They will only stop to admire your waxed legs !

I was referring to road, yes.  It is a great sight to see nice legs and bumbums

Can only be roadies (all so rude) - would never happen at a MTB race.

Road racing is not for woosies, if you want. Hello's; How u's; How your kids; Merry Christmas's; good bye's; Please be my girlfreind. Then stick to MTB racing

Hey madmarc you sound like a really nice guy.........NOT!

Was told at the Midvaal vets tour 2 years ago that when you have a problem (flat, fall whatever) is when they attack .......... damn roadies!!!!!

I agree.  Only problem is, that I have had the "hellos, and the good byes, but no one has ever asked me to be their girlfriend

I must be doing something wrong, or not doing something at all.....

 

Any advice?

[dirtrider]

try shaving your legs !

Scott24, any descent guy road or MTB that has caused an accident would stop check that everyone is OK then carry on racing. Obvioulsy please dont wait for madmarc to stop for you.

ALWAYS smoothe and tanned!!!!!

the decent thing would be to stop, but don't expect it - the girl who took me out in the 2006 'shova didn't even look back. i only know of her existence because the witnesses told me what had happened. they didn't bother to get her details because they were all running to help me and prevent anyone from riding over me. i spent 2 days in hospital in Durbs and then 2 separate days in hospital back in jhb (once to put plate into shoulder and once to take it out) and i have no clue who the dumb cow was that took my front wheel out from under me without even apologising

I actually am a cool guy; ask my wife!!! she smaaks me stukent (or is it just my credit card she has a fetish for).

 

But please don't try exchange pleasentries with me or expect me to stop to apologise in a race when the peleton is doing 65+ & HR = 105%  and the thing you see flapping behind my rear wheel is my lung and the lube spraying off my chain is the snot running down my face which i just don't seem to be able to disconnect from my nose.

 

Find me at the finish line & i'll apologise, fix your bike and buy you a beer. And if you are a PHAT = (Pretty, Hot and Tantilizing) DAAG =  (HOT cHICKS WHO RIDE ROAD BIKES) I'll even try get your phone number
