- Pay It Forward – Tubes, quick-links, a helping hand. You’ll
need it one day too.
- You brought it out…you bring it home – No one likes a litterbug. Keep the trail
clean.
- Know your role – Fast climber? Get up front.
Slow descender? Get in the back.
- Bike worth does not equal biking ability – Everyone loves the latest and greatest…but
it doesn’t increase skill.
- Be Self Sufficient – Always bring what you need…and sometimes
more.
- Know Basic Bike Maintenance – Be able to fix your own flat…
- Treat Other Riders Like You Would Want To Be
Treated – No one likes a jackass.
- It’s Only A Race If The Other Participants Know
They Are Participating –
You didn’t beat your friend on the climb if you are the only one that knew it
was a race.
- If A Rider Catches You…It Doesn’t Mean They Want
You To Ride Faster –
Move to the side and let the rider by. Also see #3.
- Music While Riding Is Great…Unless You Are
Oblivious – If you are going to wear
earphones while riding, check around you constantly for other riders.
- Know Your Abilities – Don’t get too far over your head.
- Just Because You Can’t Ride It…Doesn’t Mean Others
Can’t – Mountain biking should be a
progression. Not all trails can be wide and groomed.
- You Have Zero Room To Bitch If You Didn’t Work On
The Trail – Try not to be a backseat
driver to trail work.
- There Is No Cure For UGI – Upgradeitis is a serious disease for which
there is no cure.
- Beware Of Rider Recommendations – The best bike for a friend may not be the
best bike for you. Everyone thinks they are on the best mountain bike on the
market.
- Don’t Be “That Guy” – You know the one…the guy that brags about
his time on local loops and doesn’t ride anywhere else. Enjoy your ride…it
isn’t a contest.
- In Shape Does Not Equal Technical Ability – You are in shape…awesome…but that does not
make you a better rider. It just makes you able to ride longer.
- Riding Keeps You Young – Yes…that guy that is twice your age will
still drop you.
- No One Looks Good In Lycra…Especially Mountain
Bikers – Bring a change of clothes… lycra
is not “going out” wear.
- Mexican Food Is The Perfect After Ride Meal – Don’t know why…it just is.
- Diversity Is A Good Thing – Different bikes, different styles,
different personalities. It would be dreadfully boring if we were all the same.
- Any Holiday Is An Excuse To Ride – Why are we riding today? Because today
ends in a y.
- Support Those That Support You – Support your local IMBA and local advocacy chapters. They do more
than just work on trails.
- Online
Superstars Type More Than Ride –
Time worrying about online arguments is time you could spend on the bike.
- Riding
Is The Best Therapy –
Self explanatory…
