Riding Ettiquette

[TNT1]

 

For MTB:

 

It's always polite to first check if a crashed MTBr is okay before you laugh at them. If you went down and the other guys can't hold their laughter enough to ask if you're okay' date=' it's rude to assume they don't care. Your crash was probably just flippen hilarious!

Conversely, for road, first check if the bike is ok before attending to any bleeding...

definitely... very bad form to not be able to answer the standard question of "how's my bike?"

Another one, but this would apply to road as well:

 

It is absolutely imperative to first survey your surroundings, take note of any riders near you, and position yourself in such a way that you don't hit any of them with projectile snot when launching a snot rocket.

when racing in the VETS group I have realised you concentrate on the person u follow ... and the surroundings if the bunch is large

so I have been doing it all wrong.  I thought you got bonus seconds if you planted a greeny on the glasses of the guy behind you.  (duathlon dayz)

During Gerhards interval session at Killarney yesterday afternoon there were some overzealous riders shouting "hold your line" around the bends, when they were clearly the ones who should hold a line. On the last lap one of them took out another rider in a reckless effort of line intruding ... they totally missed the point of an interval session too.
