What a miserable bunch........

[Onthedrops]

.............. Some cyclists are!

Out for a steady ride this morning and it was good to see quite a few more like minded cyclists had the same idea.

As usual I enjoyed my ride, but what did occur to me was just how miserable some cyclists are. I generally acknowledge other 2 wheelers when out and about. This morning I would say around 75% of those I waved/ nodded to/ raised a hand/ said good morning to completely blanked me!

I'm not a touchy feely type but it did annoy me a bit. Did wonder if they were segment chasing or summat!

Are you an acknowledger or an out and out blanker???

I tend to nod or say good morning although sometimes when it's nice and I know I'm heading to work I'm sure I can be a let's say deflated as I would rather just be out and about on the bike

What did the police say when you reported this?

Shaun should make a new sub-forum for these posts

Ride a m/cycle if you want to be acknowledged as a friend. Buy a bike if you want to be alone - simples.

I just talk to the trees, but they don't listen to me....

Do you wave to other motorists when you're driving a car?

They'll be too busy listening to the grass.

My mum once said to me... "why don't you join a club?"

"clearly you do not understand cyclists... We do it for the solitude"

some strange replies on this thread, is this typical of cyclists?
it's my experience when out cycling that the majority of fellow cyclists actually nod or acknowledge in some way, I guess it must depend on which end of the country you live in, we are a friendly bunch up here in west Yorkshire.
