I’m through with bike scene politics. The he said she said, mob mentality. We don’t have to like everyone, but who is to say we can’t be decent to everyone? It’s nice to have a close knit group of friends, but that doesn’t mean you have to be a douchebag to everyone outside of your exclusive clique. Seriously, when did class and manners go out the window? A smile or hello to someone who isn’t exactly your friend doesn’t equal being fake, it means you’re a human being who doesn’t feel like treating others like crap all of the time. Perhaps if more of us strove to achieve this simple sign of compassion, there wouldn’t be so much division in the community.
That being said, I love you all, and will do whatever is in my power to help out a fellow biker (cyclist?). Whether that means setting up rides, giving out hugs, donating parts/time, or just lending an ear. I've come to certain realizations and I'm getting too old to be so angsty for little to no reason. I'm no innocent party, here. This is not a holier than thou post. I just don't have the energy to waste on it anymore. I don't have the time to let other's actions affect my life. You can either respect that, or go on hating. Either way, won't change my outlook one bit. You'll still get my smile and hello as we pass, regardless of what it is met with. Hopefully others will adopt the same mindset. If not, best of luck. <3
