1. (''[[Legal Eagle]]ry''): To insert a tract of utter pedantry by means of a whole new piece of paper, titled “Rider A” since, in your spastic scrawl, is too verbose to fit in to the margin of the page in which the [[mark-up]] opportunity appears. In our digital age perhaps now a bygone artefact. When, in the good old days, [[lawyer|lawyers]] negotiated by marking up draft {{t|contracts}} in handwriting, the [[rider]] was the “last” resort, and also a badge of honour. You [[fax]] over a whole page of [[calculation agent]] dispute fall-backs, or whatever other  [[iatrogenic]] nonsense it may have occurred to you to interpose into an innocent legal agreement. Such fun.<br>

3. (''Decadent''): ~ of the Storm. A pop song by The Doors. For more, see Google.<ref>{{Google|Riders_on_the_storm}}.</ref> <br>

4. (''Decadent''): The pre-ordained list of stuff that must be laid on for [[Dangerboy]] when they headline at Knebworth which [[shall]] ''not'' include brown M&Ms. <br>

''This article is about little bits of paper lawyers interleave in their mark-ups. For the horsemen of the apocalypse, see [[apocalypse]].
