Frowning Commuters?

[Bman]

Whats up with everyone today? At least two (could be three, but he may have been *very* worn out ) cyclists frowned at me on the way home. Why!? Its a beautiful friday morning. Perfect for cycling besides being a bit warm.

Is it because your all on the way to work and ive finished a night-shift and get to go home?

Oh well... never mind

Well, it's damp and overcast up 'ere, but I said morning to a fella on a catalogue special at the traffic lights

plus one............ it was a beautiful sunny morning here at 6 as i clipped in to cycle home........ i was of a sunny disposition, the legs felt good, and the week end had started. but what of my fellow commuters, only glum puffing faces.....

i said the same to the chap on the hybrid i shot past going up the hill…

Were they cycling into a headwind and you had it behind you ? That often accounts for the difference in facial expressions between those going in opposite directions !

When the 6 millionth ped walks out in front of you then you tend to get the hump.

That's after being cut up by yet another taxi.

my legs on the way in were rubber, the soft kind and there was yet another head wind

good ride home though

 

[hackbike 666]

Not a very good ride back,but at this time what should I expect?

More tommorow as i finish 1am Sunday morning,should be fun but hopefully won't get any more dodgy as it was tonight.

Nice week.Full moon Sunday must explain it.

Why are boy racers such ****ing morons?

 

[Bman]

There was no reasons IMO other than they were going *to* work, when I was going home

It was a very calm sunny morning. I left early today so it was still dark. Didnt see a single cyclist (and very few cars) a brilliant ride.

 

[hackbike 666]

Blimey where do you commute?

 

[Old Walrus]

Loads of grump from fellow cyclists yesterday and today.......cheer up folks, we're all on the same side (well mostly).

 

[Dayvo]

The vast majority of commuters I encounter here wear the 'cyclist's frown' and never want to wave or nod!

I never frown; I always try and look as though I'm having fun going up a steep hill. But they don't; they have to have the 'serious cyclist-look'.

Tossers!

I get plenty of smiles and waves from the school kids on my commute, however I think most of that is because I'm a foreigner and the only one in lycra!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[hackbike 666]

I don't bother I just go along with the general ignorance that seems to be around.

No I don't want to be like this but I don't really care anymore.

I know cycling other countries is different thats why I look forward to cycling abroad.

Now that it's no longer winter and the seasonal cyclists are taking to my route, I try to give a nod, smile or 'morning !' as I go.

As yet, zero response. But then speaking to anyone you don't know is usually taken as the sign of a nutter who it's best to avoid !
