Your last point is fabulous...When we ride and a friend comes with little than acceptable gear, we tell them...Do they listen...Not all the times but it is up to them...Someone one can be on a big bike or small bike...However, if they start becoming a jackarse on the road it becomes a danger for everyone...Stupidity does not discriminate.

i learned alot about my ability and inability in my first few years as a rider.
i have learned ALOT more from my co-riders since i moved to colorado.
they take the time to express how they feel my riding could improve.
i don't always listen to their advice.
WHY???? i'm not aiming to be a racer,just wanting to get from point "A" to point "B" with a smile on my face and the love of the sport.
isn't that all it is about anyway.
i could give a fark less about impressing someone with my "skills" as a rider.
i have seen many fall to my backside trying to chase me or not being in total control of their surroundings or circumstances.
since i have moved here i have been witness to 5 accidents of this kind from fellow riders.....and many more that i have come across to check on the rider or their condition.
were they misbehaving???
most likely.
were they beyond their abilty????
it's possible.
do i cut them out of future endeavors with my group???
no,but i do warn them of what has transpired in the past and that they should learn from it....
do they ever listen????
sometimes
