Greeting fellow cyclists.

Am I bad for laughing out loud at this?

It was rather a shock at the time - but there is a funny side to it - I was giggling to myself by the next corner

If she was married I reckon her hubby was up the creek with no paddles!!!!

I made the mistake of waving to the driver of a slammed VW bay window a few years ago whilst driving my slammed VW Corrado. Big mistake. I hadn't realised that being the owner of a radiator would be deserving of such distain.

I have absolutely no idea of the meaning of what you have just written, any interpretation possible please?

He waved to the driver of a modified (suspension lowered) VW camper van once whilst driving his modified Corrado. The camper has an air cooled engine, the Corrado is water cooled so has a radiator.

I lusted after the Corrado VR6 back in the day, when I had a mk2 Golf GTI. I'd love one now as a weekend toy but it's considered such a classic that used prices have gone through the roof.

Got it. I think. But it would be helpful if the meaning could be written clearly, not in jargon.

I'd never wave at anyone riding a bike with a Hollowtech bottom bracket.

They're lethal things, I know that for a fact because some expert on the internet told me.

Cyclists greeting cyclists is a nice thing in a cruel world, but not a disaster if it doesn't happen.

What is a disaster is when you've been cycling for miles against the wind, stop to sit on a bench, rest and eat your cheese sandwich and along comes Mr or Mrs Chatty. I know this may be their only human interaction of the day but, FFS I'm here to get away from people, I'm tired and hungry and I don't care about your grandchildren!

I give a nod, wave or hello to practically every cyclists and a good number nod first etc or respond to me also. Some folk will be in the zone which to me is understandable. There will be some who blank me but its their problem.

Small beer I’m afraid is that. It’s cycling 50 miles and knowing you got to cycle .50 miles back and your sat in the cafe and a gentleman sits down next to you and says” Did you know the queens my mother”

It's nice to see Charles getting out and about though.

If he puts his hand on your knee it may not be Charles...
