thats a problem with group rides, either on bikes or motorcycles
When I was in the Navy around 89 we had a masterchief who was a exercise nut; running at lunch and riding on the weekends. A "tri guy". He was a genuine good guy and had enough clout to pull this off. He got the command to authorize a ship crew ride for Navy Relief from Half Moon Bay back to the ship at Sub Base Point Loma San Diego.
We were in a group one day and I was in the middle somewhere when my front tube bursts with a loud POP. The guy right in front of me hears the tire blow and gets on the brakes without looking. I can barely keep the bike up with a flat front tire and I can't slow down very well and this guy throws on the brakes. I scream "DON'T STOP".
Which they did. They all kept going and left me behind to fix my flat by myself. At least I didn't crash, wtf... you need to be in the Navy to understand these guys.
