but why...how did the "TRIBE" form in the first place.
In groups, out groups, racists, extremists, golfists, cyclists....we are all just people, why do we segregate so quickly into tribes.
I believe this segregation is formed from poor experiences and bad education. A person who has yet to form an opinion WILL do as soon as they gain a poor experience...ie a RLJer.
I don't particularly think we can change the entire tribe/group attitude (although in isolation this does occur) but we can stop people forming a negative first impression
imo, cyclists make it that way.
Cyclists that routinely break the law and ride badly. gives motorists the reason to vent their fury and group us all together as lycra wearing, law breaking peanuts. You might say that this is a crass generalisation and you'd probably be right. But it's only a thought.
