Lovely shots. Ride bike with others at similar level, stop off for drink and natter. Be happy. People overtake, never mind if they don't say hello, their loss. The old spirit of clubs lives on, and those who don't want to join in that spirit will probably never be as happy as the people in the photos. Like I said in another thread, life's too short...
I go out with the slow group of my club http://www.northlancsrc.org.uk/ so we rarely pass anyone. I think i'm in the minority that acknowledges cyclists travelling in the same or opposite direction, the others just seem to ignore them. Mind you,i have been known to wave at what i think is a cyclist when it turns out to be a motorbike.
It's one of the things that bugs me the most. If they want to be heros, that's up to them, but if they can't keep the pace up, having huffed and puffed their way past, that is a) annoying, and b) possibly dangerous, as re-passing ( or probably get held up) adds a risk, which can be done without

Yeah .... And they use Strava ....
I bet you don't even give a cheery "hello". You disgust me.
You mean freewheel, surely.
Works for me...frankly mismatching bar tape and seats would be enough to put me off joining a club.
Do you have any evidence to support your assertion?
