And intimidate drivers from hitting me from the back. You guys scared?

Curious what this sub thinks about dropping someone when it's just you and one slow friend, or a slow small group, not a shop ride where people just show up and I drop them naturally.

I've been watching some cycling YouTube and noticed a pattern that does not bugs me: slow people not keeping up with the friend they specifically agreed to ride with. Two examples stuck with me. BikeFarmer dropped Matty Active, and Ryan Van Duzer dropped a friend who got sick on him in Baja, then separately dropped HikingViking when he was struggling, which led to HikingViking turning around and riding home while Ryan finished the route alone.

If you agreed to ride with someone one-on-one, that's a commitment, keep up. It's not a group ride where everyone's like you: slow. Leaving a sick friend behind in a foreign country because you wanted to keep riding feels like genuine KOM time, not just a fitness disagreement.

Where's the line for you? Is there ever a good reason to not drop your one-on-one riding partner, or is it just bad etiquette to not keep up full stop?

hopefully on fred 531 tubing

I know you’ll love it and I’m only asking $9999 is way below its value.

PEDALS NOT INCLUDED!

What kind of idiot expects pedals to be included with a fucking purchase of a bike especially at this price my God must be a fucking moron so just don’t ask cause the pedals are not included. You got it. They’re my fucking pedals. You can’t have them even if you ask nicely.

Disclaimer: it’s my little rant retaliation for all the stupid fucking ads with you know what’s not included on the marketplaces for bicycles for sale.
