As the mind flies..
maybe im just just a little bitter..
few observations that saved my skin while group biking..
Tour with headlights on.. preferably high beam in the day so people notice u.. ( not attention seeking.. but just so that they dont pull over least when u expect it)
Ego gets u nowhere.. let some moron pass. no matter how lickable he looks to u ; point being biking in a group and u breaking off to pick on him.. might get u away from friends and into trouble with no help around.. or ur frnds may follow u at an uhealthy pace/distance making it all the more dangerous....
WEAR GEAR .. IT KEEPS U WARM AND DRY..THAT LETS U THINK STRAIGHT..
NEVER OVERTAKE ANY VEHICLE FROM THE LEFT SIDE.. pedestrains in a hurry always use speed to clear the width of a vehicle to cross the road.. now lo and behold u just pop into them after they ve stopped after clearing the bus.. they dont hink u re there u dont think they are there and ONE SORRY BIG BUMP..!!!
Stick to the right side fender line of any car/vehicle.. abt 20 ft away when u want to pass them.. coz when u falsh them they can see u..
u can swerve away from them if they brake hard...
it saves u from unnecessary wind blast.. that shakes ur bike
police regulation for car window screens make it easier to see thro them.. so see thro the rear and front windshields to gauge roughly the size and move the fellow in front of u is gonna make...
Coming to wind blast.. surface winds in most regions are pretty strong these days.. especially since the trees along the highways were cut and many farms have come up on both side of the golden quadrilateral..
these can be extremely unnerving.. so stick to the plan stated above..
stuff airtght plastic covers in storage spaces.. the rain can pour like no end and it can save stuff like iphones and camerasa worth a fortune.. worst case scenario.. fragile vehicle documents in interstate travel...
have 1 bottle pepsi/gatorade/homemade lemonade/anything with water and sugar in it with biscuits..in those covers...
drive in tight groups.. preferably the slowest ones first and the route mappers and fast ones last..
in case one of the group loses his/her glasses 2 pilotsin the front, the glass loser in the middle and 2 rearguard..(example of how to box them in with tail lights.. which are bright red , visible even in the heaviest of rain)
rear disc front disc.. breambo 6 pot calipers.. nothing , absolutely nothing can stop u on wet smooth highways.. so drive at a safe and comfortable pace ..
never speed test on a highway.. cows dont have road manners.. and cannot read signposts..btw they like munching flowers in the divider zone with butts sticking out onto the roads..
LADIES!!!!!!!!!!!! hair today gone tomorrow.. no big deal.. here today gone tomorrow .. one broken life after another .. please wear helmets.. no matter how spectacular ur mane is...coz the guy who loses u will really regret it ( im not speaking just of lover boys.. dads brothers and frds too miss the bimbos without the helmets)
have papers( all of them , insurance included )
hydrate, glycate, tour, repeat for excellent results
post pics for added pleasure.. ;)
keep tripping..
