And if the new riders won't be educated?

 

We had a new rider meeting at a ride.  Of the 12 new riders only 4 showed up for the meeting.  None of them completed the ride the next day either. 

 

To be honest, the majority of the actual abuse I've ever seen has been done by "experienced" riders.  What can we do about them?
