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.
I've been riding for 10+ years and this year my husband will be going on a week-long bike trip with me. This is his first year of riding (other than to the park and around the block). During our 1st - yes our 1st ride together, he was riding behind me and came up on my right without saying anything which scared me to death! I reacted very poorly and yelled at him which did not set well and I'm thinking, great how in the world are we going to survive a 500 mi week long trip with 10,000 people?

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.
So I am going to print out the "Ride Right" rules and hopefully some will sink in cause I am nervous about the ride!

Men just don't take well to criticism - but then who wants to be scraped up off the pavement cause someone was too bull-headed to listen?

Thanks for letting me vent!
