[QUOTE="HotRodZilla, post: 1156259, member: 13519"] Man, I've ridden in a bunch of Toy Runs, Charity Runs, and Memorial Rides with all kinds of bikes. I've seen a few douche bags making it dangerous for others, but my vigilance and ability to pay attention to what is going on trumps the "Oh, there's too many riders who I think I'm better than for me to participate." Honestly, many here sound kind of whiny, but will ride through California rush hour traffic. This idea that a single rider has no control in a group setting is wrong. What's worse is if anyone thinks they have any more control while dealing with cars, trucks, and potential road kill, they are very mistaken. AND, FWIW, the closest I have ever come to being killed on a group ride was a department funeral escort with 20 highly trained motor officers. Try running 100+, less than 8 feet apart, while passing a line of cars driven by a bunch of dipshit cops. After that, a charity run is a walk in the park! [/QUOTE]
