Do you follow them, respect them, embrace them or you're just one of them?

Click on the link below, they're pretty darn funny and too close.

my favourite is rule #10: “Training is like fighting with a gorilla. You don’t stop when you’re tired. You stop when the gorilla is tired.” Sur la Plaque, Sloppy Kiss#ktards.4

I think the search button may help.

I follow some not religiously just by either choice or coincidence.

I wish more people would follow rule 22

I think rule 19 should be thoroughly enforced

Rule #19 // Introduce Yourself.
If you deem it appropriate to join a group of riders who are not part of an open group ride and who are not your mates, it is customary and courteous to announce your presence. Introduce yourself and ask if you may join the group. If you have been passed by a group, wait for an invitation, introduce yourself, or let them go. The silent joiner is viewed as ill-mannered and Anti-V. Conversely, the joiner who can’t shut their cakehole is no better and should be dropped from the group at first opportunity.

I'm a member of the Velominati.

I feel rule #1 and #3 are applicable here.

Laughed at #51 way back, and it's SO 'au fait' ATM.

Don't really care about the rules. If I should ever start caring about them - it's time to stop riding, sell the bike and do something else.

I'd wager that most 'members' of the velominati disrespect rule #58! :lol:
