Any cyclist who doesn't wave back, I will chase after them and push them into the nearest ditch.

You will have to get out of the ditch first

Good luck with that.

That sounds idyllic but I'm not grumpy. Just can't stand happy people.

How do you feel about shiny people?

 

[Goggs]

Al you happy, wavy, "good morning" types, feck off and leave me alone. That is all.

Courtesy & happiness are not the same thing.

My happiness comes from being discourteous to as many people on a single ride as possible.

You can ruin somebody's entire ride just by looking the other way. It's a lot of fun.

I used to do that too but I now find that if I look straight through them with my mirrored Oakley EVZeros they go into a little stupor. If I'm lucky, it even ends in a little wobble or wheel-switch when two of them ride together.

They're mirrored. No-one can tell which way you're looking and everyone just assumes you're perving over people of your preferred gender.

Hiya!

Maussane is gorgeous & not very far away at all. The other side of a big hill though, one that's so far beaten me every time.

edit - Woah! You're Canadian? Snap!

I once went for a ride in Exeter down a long trail, plenty of people in late summer walking and riding, I made a point to say hello to everyone, I don't think anyone expected it, I amused myself seeing them feel uncomfortable having to say hello back as I smiled at them
I'd assumed it was a regional thing, in general northerners seem more comfortable with small talk between strangers IME

If you have to ask you can't afford to be my neighbour.

Ooh, impressive!
