Just away with the fairies !Usually if Im out on my bike I am clearing my head. Up in the country lanes, putting various things into perspective. If someone passes me I often dont even realise till they have gone so no, id not say hello
Doesnt mean im not friendly tho
Iv been away with the fairies.Damn it ! Busted !!! Anyway,where have you been madam ???
Crazy fairies i bet !Iv been away with the fairies.
Agreed.
Just because people don't say hi or reply to a greeting doesn't meant they are not friendly. It's nothing to do with competitiveness or snobbery. Whether they are a fully lycrad up roadie or not, training or on a pootle, northerners or southerners. It's just the way some people are. I've said hello (to and replied back) to all sorts of cyclists whilst on a ride as I have ignored all sorts of cyclists on a ride.
However, If I do see a cyclist at the side of the road fettling I will always ask if they are ok or need a hand..
Now THAT is rudeand so unnecessary.and some of the responses i have had when i have stopped and asked if they are OK couldn't be repeated here due to taste and decency requirements.
not gonna stop me.got thicker skin than that
I go back into hiding............................Then what happens Lisa?
in fairness, there's a world of difference between returning a nod or wave, and having someone trying to engage in conversation…There are also cases on other forums of people moaning about the Elites in and around Manchester not acknowledging. There's even a case where a rider came up behind Cavendish at a set of lights and Cav point blank said "not in the mood mate, wanna be on my own" or words to that effect.
