I just learned to not talk about it. Unless i care about the person, they are close to me...
Otherwise, I simply move on about my day. I wear gear, so I lead by example I guess. $16.5k for Repsol RR... those went for $11K new I think... what a bunch of tools. They'll be out of business soon. |

I say live and let die. We're all adults, so do whatever you wanna do. Besides, if the squids get knocked off, there'll be more curb squirrels left for me.

I agree, not wearing gear is not illegal. If it isn't someone you care about, who gives a fuck if they are retarded and hurt themselves.

it was more so because he is a dealer, he's giving the example to everyone that gear isn't needed. I personally don't care if he wears it or not..
I just think he's setting a poor example for a sport that has so many negative stereotypes already |

However, for a dealer/salesmen to do it is like the same old bitch we have with cops when they run a red light just to get through it, not wear their seatbelts, park where there's no parking, etc

thats perfectly acceptable, pointing and laughing is a must, me getting upset cause someone doesn't advertise gear isn't much of a concern though.
