frustrating two-wheeled drivers

[cathleen]

I understand what you mean, about being annoyed when other cyclists don't follow the rules. It's particularly frustrating when it's your friend/family member who wants to ride with you!


My BF really does not know very much about road riding rules. He's never been a part of organized cycling, and so, his cycling behavior is just atrocious. When we go for casual neighborhood cruises, he just does whatever occurs to him. It bugs me.

Instead of nagging at him, (because I don't think it'll work) I am thinking about getting him a helmet and a little booklet about the rules of the road.

Maybe this approach will work: "Sweetie, I am only 27 years old and the thought of tube feeding you for the rest of my life is pretty @#$%-ing scary. Please ride safely, or I will not ride with you."
