Arrogant cyclists

[Andy_G]

Since joining a club ive noticed that when i wear my club Jersey 95% of cyclists never seem to reply with a nod or raised hand, but when im in just a normal jersey id say 60% reply.
And before anyone says maybe they dont like the club, i could be 40-50 miles away.

People on bikes who wear "club kit" are not recognised as real cyclists by proper cyclists.

Maybe your club is Universally hated lol

I always nod but it is roadies with all the kit on who tend not to say hello back.

If you do it to be social then don't wear your club kit. Simples

Why is cycling so snobby?
If I turned up on a Sunday with an Arsenal shirt on for footy practice nobody would even bat an eyelid (yiddos excluded), nobody would think look at that pretentious twat thinks he is a professional footballer would they?

Nobbers with baskets on the front of their bikes are the worst.

No they would just think muppet

There is some seriously arrogant muppets around on bikes but then i suppose there is in everything we do so i just let them get on with it. I cycle for my own enjoyment i like the people i have met so far even if a love of cycling is the only thing we have in common.

MTFU! I'm not on the road to support your insecurities about your decisions. If I notice your wave & may respond if I feel it doesn't cause a problem for me...

The ladies with baskets are ok, it's the blokes with baskets who are the nobbers.

Think of it from their point of view. Maybe they just want to ride their bike, without having to smile,wave,nod and converse with/at/to every eejit in club kit or otherwise?
