I tend not worry any more what is behind me, only what's in front of me…
Not sure what the etiquette is out on the trails, but the problem I find is when you start thinking about other riders behind you, you lose concentration and make mistakes…
If you are behind me and I am little slow, (not saying I'm slow, there will always be riders, faster or slower than all of us) tough sh*t you can wait, then when I am in a position to let you past…and the trail allows you to pass, then go for it….otherwise bloody wait ….otherwise how are people supposed to improve riding & skills etc.
Sorry, but I do get really annoyed when riders come up behind and shout 'coming through'…..am I supposed to just stop and let them through…..no why should I…I have just as much right to be there…
May be someone will correct me ? ;-)
I am always polite and say hello or thanks whilst out on the trails, just manners, sometimes stopping for a chat…luckily most of the times and places I ride, riders are ok….
There are just idiots in all aspects of activities and life…just keep spinning! ;-)
