Right And Wrong

There are the "Right" things to say and then there are the "Wrong" things to say. Here is a list of examples.

#5) When you see a couple riding tandem and you engage them in conversation. The right thing to say is "Do you ride together often?". The wrong thing to say is "Do you shower tandem?".

#4) When someone asks you if your friend really just took their drivers test and why, the right thing to say is "They let their license expire by 2 YEARS, and they had to take the test over again. The wrong thing to say is "Well he grew up Amish!!!".

#3) When you see someone applying Chamois Buttr the right thing to say is...nothing. The wrong thing to say is "Do you need a hand?".

#2) When you are in a race and you work hard to bridge a gap and you tuck behind another riders wheel to recovery before passing and they ask if you want around, the right thing to say is "Not just yet I will let you know when I'm ready". The wrong thing to say is "No thanks, I'm just enjoying the view".

#1) When your riding to the top of a long climb behind someone that is in their granny granny gear the right thing to say is "Great job, keep it up" (with great enthusiasm). The wrong thing to say is "Are you still in that gear?".
