I got stuck in a group ride of nearly 100 bikes going around the Canal. It was partially sponsored by an MC and we were told we needed to ride two abreast. That was the most nerve-racking ride I have ever been on. I spent so much time worrying about the bikes around me I couldn't relax. When I got done with it I promised myself that I'd never to that again.

I finally clicked on your website and man you take some beautiful photos. I am a mechanical engineer and I don't have any artistry in my entire being but I really admire artists. I take snapshots and if a nice picture comes out it is totally lucky. |

Fairly often I have the dumb luck of leaving our office on BI just as a ferry is starting to unload. Thus I find myself in the midst of maybe 10-20 riders coming off the boat every once in a while. So far everyone in that group has seemed pretty conscientious in maintaining stagger going down the highway. As bikes peel off riders adjust their position. They also space themselves out pretty well.

I’ve only been riding again for about a month. It’s been years. But I quickly learned (again) not expect good riding habits or etiquette from other riders. Most guys I come across seem like solid riders, but others that have clearly been doing this a while (judging by the state of their gear) still seem oblivious to the riders around them and nervous as they ride around. I’m still getting back in the saddle and getting my muscle memory back, so I’m by no means perfect. riding is always a learning experience. |
