[QUOTE="Nestrick, post: 781395, member: 45162"] Hey 2big4akdx, Smit-Dog & MWEISSEN ... Thanks for the advice and stories of your encounters ... having now had a bit more time for reflection, and a chance to discuss it with my wife, who by the way is not a rider, but did listen and then remind me that virtually every behavior I described happening on the trail is something she sees almost every day behind the wheel of a car ... lack of courtesy, failure to follow rules like stopping at signs and lights or passing on the right, parking where it is clearly marked not to do so, speeding in residential areas ... the list goes on and on. I too see these actions, and am guessing that because I drive all the time, I have become somewhat inured to them … whereas, my riding is a relatively new adventure and therefore I am much more sensitive to its flavor. The point being, behavior is behavior ... some folks tend to act badly in many areas of their lives anymore ... it's not that everyone is bad, just that things are changing and perhaps, we are losing some of the good things from the past and replacing them with updated versions ... sometimes better, sometimes worse. Policing the public is probably a losing battle at best [e.g.; the Police seem to be losing control of our roads anymore] ... figuring out how to make folks in general aware of the importance of caring for our trails [and roads & all things public] might be the key to solving the dilemma we all face. Making the search to find that component of life which we all share and value above all else, then applying that respect when we are in situations where we are sharing our space might well be the working solution we seek. Whoa … getting way too philosophical here … on rereading what I wrote about Saturday’s ride it did remind me to mention something else to you guys … namely, the part about yelling at that fellow for drinking beer and throwing the cans on the trail. Worries me a bit now … you guys could’ve taken my tirade to mean I don’t like beer … that would be way, way wrong … I just don’t appreciate folks who drink and drive [or ride] … throwing the empty cans on our trail is what really got my dander up and caused me to react the way I explained. Hope that clears up this matter … cheers! terry nestrick :cool: [/QUOTE]
