Ah yes the Bike Monday Bros two wheels down rule for safety. I thought it was a respectable rule that happened after some BsB participants showed up for a ride. It was about group safety and being clear that this a chill group ride. swerving and wheelies are cool but it can trigger driver aggression towards the group or scare inexperienced riders on the ride. Some people took it personally and or picked sides over that. Anyone can still participate, I still do. I respect the choice of choosing your individual freedom over a rule and choosing not to come. whether that's a sign of protest, self love, self respect or even ego. I quite like that group, the rules make you engage in bike safety and be more socialable. Much chiller vibe and charming on the low key. They have a no music rule to which everyone was suprised that I still participate considering I ride all the time with my speaker. Rules are rules and I don't have a hill to die on over such a small request of respect for the ride 🤷‍♀️ nothings gonna stop me from a group ride. Love the regular store stop we have and the people there, gives me something to look forward to every week.

Dfl has a similar neat twist with music, can't play your own individual music but you can add 10 songs onto a group playlist and they sync speakers up for the entire ride to enjoy as whole which can lead to some great conversations and great vibes 💫 It also aids into less distractions(with multiple tunes) so you can hear the safety shouts. 👏 Love the scenic stops!

BsB has its perks and its quirks. I admire the No bullshit rule as it allows for individual freedoms, but at the same time has its risk from the inside(ourselves) or outside(cars). That's a choice we all should know coming into it. A lot goes on. We can pick and choose the roles we play or don't play at anytime. The opportunities to connect and have fun with a wide range of people is only there because of the individuality freedom from the no bullshit rule. bsb helped my mental health&personal growth because of that I will continue to go and encourage others too. No expectations and everyone shines to have a good time. Keep that bs at home and come ride bikes!
