Unfriendly/arrogant cyclists

[hopless500]

I tend to nod, smile, say good morning or good afternoon....mind you don't expect anything if I'm going up hill because every breath is vital

Some are super extra animated & friendly which kind of restores my faith in humanity.

Hi
I don't know if it's only me that has come across this when out cycling, but when other cyclists pass me going the same way or from the opposite direction, they don't bother greeting when I do so.
It seems worse the more expensive their bikes are.
Has anyone else experienced this while out on a ride?

yes all the time....doesn't put me up nor down

I find the same when my local train is stopped in a station, these ******* on the intercity jobbies seem to think they are on another planet. Well, just because your seat has an antimacassar doesn't make you a better person I'll have you know, ********.

I have no idea how people have enough time to 1) instigate a greeting, 2) await response, 3) Give enemy bicycle a thorough going over, 4) Shake head disapprovingly at lack of response, 5) dodge traffic and pedestrians.

I'll talk to other riders at the lights, unless you're on a hybrid or BSO, but I don't think I've ever given or received a wave from another cyclist in at least 6 months.

Just don't forget your roots once you get it!

I flick out the fingers on my right hand and nod, if they reply okay if they don't okay......My buddy usually shouts f***ing roundhead if they don't respond

I once said hello to Ian on the road but his kitty was rattling that much he didn't hear me.

FFS!

I rarely see other cyclists on the road. Mind you, I rarely see anything, blinded as I am by the tears, sweat and snotters.

The essential ingredients for anyone wishing to enter the state of cyclo euphoria.

Is it that important to you that other cyclists acknowledge you? If no one acknowledges you then so what, it's not the end of the world.
