Ride-Out Armbands ?

[Dabz]

I don't think "democratic will" will come into it (I can't imagine James will be seeking a vote) it's just whether or not you personally wish to be helpful to your fellow riders, especially to the new ones who don't know us.

I'm fully prepared for a repeat of 2008's "OMG James is forcing leaders and back markers to wear hi vis, he's gone mental, there can be no other reason than to make us look stupid, I hate him, WB sucks" episode but I'd rather than than have new group members strewn across the countryside wishing they'd stayed at home!

had a great ride out sunday,one of the five that split from main group,turned out we all live in warminster,so made new friends

Seems like the best way, it's would definitely be for the benefit of the group, so I wouldn't have any problems wearing one.

I notice they do different sizes on that site - might be better to find a universal/adjustable sized one so we can just buy in bulk?

[Burbler]

Some have velcro fastenings. They fit anyone. Need to go around jackets anyway.

Other sites have other colours and materials. A few pence extra could be well spent to get the right thing.

I think this is a great idea, there were so many other groups on ride-outs around the same area that I couldn't even tell if our BM was ours!

Good idea. £4.50 (inc VAT) for the adjustable ones on that site.

Gerry, I think you are funny too, and hopefully we can have a laugh together in the future. lol
Seriously though, please accept my apologies for not reading your original post closely enough - I thought you were proposing that the wearing of arm bands would be a compulsory requirement to attend WB ride outs. However, I was only offering my honest personal opinion in response to your request for feedback, and made it clear I understand the reason behind your proposal - I didn't expect to get shot down in flames.

Awww Ken, you have disappointed me, I was all set for a good old fashioned battle of words but now I just feel guilty ;-)
Compulsory - God no!

James - fear not, I'm sure those days are far behind us, sadly nobody seems to be that bothered about the forum any more, the passion just isn't there somehow :-(

The good news is that it's great to see lots of new faces on the ride-outs, I'm sure it is going to be a busy summer !
