Bike snobbery

[tyred]

If someone laughs at your bike, the best thing to do is to overtake them on a climb.

You dont need an excuse.
Although bicycles are produced in dozens of countries, the top five producers - China, India, the European Union, Taiwan, and Japan - are responsible for 87% of global production. China alone had some 58 percent of the global market in 2004. The following year, 2005, was a record year for the production of bicycles in China with a 16% increase in the production of bicycles and E-Bikes to a total of 80,430,000 units produced, of which about 65% were exported. The People’s Republic of China today produces over 60% of the world’s bicycles. 86% of the bicycles sold in the US are imports from China.

I wave out of bus windows at everyone on other busses but only if they're on a double decker and I wave at people if they're wearing Adidas shoes like mine but I blank people wearing Gola or Hi Tec.

Got to go now, the nurses want to put me in my straightjacket before teatime.

Then you wont be able to wave.

they don't need to laugh at me and/or my bike to get the climb overtake treatment from me. i overtake people on climbs just for the fun of it and to watch their face!
Cheers Ed

I like to make clear eye contact, wait for an acknowledgement, then turn away quickly without reciprocating it, cheers me up no end.

Yes there are some advantages in getting older.

Nicely done , I like to raise my hand as if I'm going to wave and then scratch my head instead.

I say good morning to everyone on my way to work. Walkers, joggers, mountain bikers, hybrid riders, brommie bikers and racers.
I have no shame.
