Pompous gits

[ian allinson]

Just been for a ride on my bike after going to the gym and passed a group of cyclists going the other way I said hello and they all snubbed me!!! Why is it because I wasn't wearing Lycra and riding in the middle of the road.

All I will say if you think your better than me because I don't look the part come to the my world! the gym and I will snub you lot.

been done a million times before on here. Each to their own eh.

if you're on a bus do you wave at other people on busses?

I ride a Brompton in jeans more often than not nowadays, just as many lycra roadies acknowledge me as don't.

common courtesy costs nothing.

common courtesy costs nothing.

nor is it obligatory just because of a shared mode of transport.

I dunno, I said hello to a mtn biker I passed the other day. he looked like he wanted to eat me. I pedalled a bit faster just in case he did. Looks a bit similar to the op actually.

Ian, take no notice of the ignorant... there are loads of friendly people on here.

If some one says hello in the street do you ignore them!!! I ride a motorbike if they acknowledge you you do the same. Anyway I feel so much better for getting it off my chest

I think you need to get out more. if you were my son I'd slap you round the head and tell you to get a life and grow up.. There are plenty of people who dont respond to others when they are out and about for whatever reason. Live with it.

ahem! I choose to do the nod and hello thing, I just accept that people have the same right of choice not to respond if they don't want to without being labelled as pompous gits.

Slap me round the head eh!!!

That's what my son says as well. .

some of the greeting gestures are very subtle,and its surprising how little you can hear when someone speaks,while going the oposite way with a closing speed of 30mph+ wind noise etc and it is never a personal slight, so dont take it as one

so you're wandering along the street saying hello to everyone else walking then?

if you drive are you busily waving at every car that goes past and thinking bad thoughts when you don't get a wave back?
