PROB IS 'situational' means you vs them in the bicycle environment.


Yes, problem(s). Otherwise what's there to say?

What we have are mixed modes with greatly different incentives.
Prblems ensue. (It's what separate facilities address.)

Itsnot really situational more end game.


Of course!

Situational implies a give and take, a 'good' balance.


Sorry to argue, but "situational" only implies a situation.

And yes, I'll agree strongly that balance is key.

Here there is no balance.


Well, I'll admit to getting way out of balance... but it
all balances out in the end game.

That is, posing as a 'road warrior' is self destructive.

Yes. True. But believe me when I say that I am more the
real deal than poseur.

Please note that I acknowledge the difference between fighter
plane dogfighting and successful transportation. "Inverse"
objectives and ~approaches, even.

However, I am a racer. That doesn't mean I'm racing with
everybody all the time, but it's an inclination. We racers
generally understand "it's in the blood" (however it gets
there). The neat thing about racing around when there's no
real race happening is that all's fair - "Gumball!" ;-)

A *lot* of people have this bent on the road. Most of them
aren't as pure about it, though, and just use it to express
their general adversarial aggression.

These Horsemen principles, though, can apply (I think) to other
styles (racer blood or otherwise).
