>>1213722>there's a couple assholes making it unsafe for everyone elseThey're not even doing it on purpose, they're just so incredibly inexperienced that they don't know any better.
Then they get all edgy 'n shit at the end and sprint like madmen, not in a straight line, and with total disregard for everyone else.
>Throwing elbowsSimple. You report their race numbers to the officials and they get talked to. They get reported enough they get banned. No physical contact allowed.
>intentionally braking in the middle of the groupAgain: wildly inexperienced, edgy, slamming on brakes at the slightest provocation.
Also: Stop being at the back of the pack, that's where shit like that happens all the time.
>taking obnoxiously tight cornersOnce again: inexperience. They don't even know how to take corners properly.
>setting an obnoxious pace in the first 2 lapsAgain: edgy, inexperienced, "young buck syndrome", they're all fired up and have little to no discipine.
>Not worth getting injured. Still fun to race a few friends now and then thoughActually you sound like more than a bit of a pussy and aren't temperamentally suited to road racing anyway, so it's just as well.
There's always risk, there's always edgy fuckers even through the Pro categories, and if you're never aggressive then you're never going to make it to the podium. You really don't sound like you can take the pressure of the last few kilometers of a race and are just better off screwing around on bikes with your buddies, yes, it's better for everyone that way because timid guys like you are also the ones who cause wrecks.
