A group of born again roadies were waiting for their mate to catch up at a cross roads just around the corner from my house when I went out for a ride on Sunday. One of them fell over when stationary as he had his right foot still clipped in and lost his balance (presumably his cleat slipping on the tarmac)
They caught and passed me as we were going down a hill and I am on 57GI SS, only for me to catch them back up on a slight slope that had two of them standing up pedalling. Got to a section of road with some road narrowing traffic calming and the oncoming car did not stop as they expected and that same rider went over the bars as he braked so sharply with his mates then riding into him in a mini pile up. "All the gear, no idea" I believe is the correct phrase!
