I have noticed that my fellow cyclists fall into 2 broad categories - there are the ones who acknowledge my greeting or respond to a friendly wave and then there are the, err, miserable gits.
Now, when I'm out on a 'proper' bike with dropped bars, wearing a cycling top and a helmet the other riders I meet tend to fall into the former category and are all smiles and waves. But - here's the thing - when I go for a bimble in to town on my ratty old MTB wearing a T-shirt and baseball cap most of the cyclists I meet are of the miserable git persuasion.
Is there a fair bit of bicycle snobbery out there?
