I had some folks in my group join the ride for frontline workers, and the pictures had lots of people standing a foot or two from each other hanging out. Some of the hospitals they went by had happy looking workers who came out to watch.

When I initially heard about it, I said in the group chat it sounded like an incredibly stupid idea, but one guy said he was a frontline worker and thought it was great. One of the guys who went has a wife who is a nurse as well. So, I don't think there was no support for this.

That said, it was still a painfully stupid idea. My issue wasn't/isn't the ride itself, it's the hangout on either end of the ride that is inevitable. People will believe what they want to believe and do what they want to do. It's amazing that people are able to convince themselves that they're not part of the problem sometimes, but hopefully nothing bad comes of it. I don't believe in complete restriction of fun for the sake of safety (which would be no riding at all), but organizing an event where you know many people are going to congregate in an unsafe manner like this is irresponsible.

Well said.
I don’t have an issue with riding, provided it’s done in a safe manner, but you hit the nail on the head with the comment about the hanging out at the beginning and/or end of the ride.

Today I went out on my usual rip route which runs through Stoney Creek mountain to Ancaster, to Dundas, to Waterdown, then Burlington and back to stoney creek via Van Wagner's. I was accidentally part of 3 different groups along the way.

The riding part is not the problem. I cannot imagine this is beyond anyone's comprehension.
Oy Vey.

Self entitled snowflakes be self entitled snowflakes, and they'll be the ones that scream loudest when they either get sick or ticketed... Nobody told me! It's not fair! Wasn't my fault!
 
Nothing like when someone sends info to local police, mayor etc.
Bootlickers are strong with this one ??‍♂️

Are you one of those "snitches get stitches" tough guys?
Edit. Had a look at some of your older posts Nikiter. Found your Halloween video. Find another forum. This one is for motorcyclists.

Rode most of the afternoon yesterday, kept it at a group of 5 max with people joining and leaving.

When we were getting off my bike i was keeping my distance, we had a good time. It's not that hard to do.
And honestly after being part of 2-3 bigger group rides, i don't really see the point. I find that 5 is the sweet spot. 12 starts being too many. Above that become kinda messy.

Same thing goes for an orgy, imho.

They are referring to post #12.

Nikiter: Boot lickers? We are still in a public health crisis, if just one of the riders was asymptomatic, how much damage can be done, we can't be sure for two weeks.

And how many contacts have all of those riders had over the two weeks? Just an epically self-centred and idiotic idea. This is how one becomes 100 before we even know it is happening.
