My turn to chuckle...?

Haha, lots of new bikers on the trail yesterday, reminding me of myself a
bit, about a year ago.

All three of 'em on suspended MTB, seats -way- too low, knees flared out
pedalling furiously, helmet back on the back of the head.

I didn't say anything but the urge to call out 'seat too low' was strong,
heh.

Doubt I'll see 'em again.

Did have one hyoogue rider on a little hardtail bike riding at a very high
speed it seemed. Makes you realize how scary an actual bike-to-bike
collision could be. I was shocked at my reaction, telling him to slow down.
I like to put in some speed now and then, but this guy seemed out of
control...or maybe that he was so big and wide that it seemed he took up
the whole trail by himself. Doubt I'll see him again either.

Most of the time having another biker on the trail is nice, b/c it
pre-warns the dog draggers to stay to the side, but I definitely was riding
cautiously after these riders went by. ;-p
