There certainly are some idiots about....
What amazes me is that most of these guys do not even try to wear protective gear, I won't ride my bike if I don't have decent riding gear, its just not worth it the pain of having someone scrub the hell out of your gravel rash with a brush to remove all that road gravel and grime from your wounds. Or having to go through heaps of surgery to have skin grafts done.
I"m not seeing so many skillz....
