Why can't you overtake a club bunch without them taking it as a challenge?

Bicycle: a means of transport between cake-stops

London
London is different - it's not really feasible to say hello to every single cyclist you pass: you'd end up with no voice left. :-)

On the open road, though, I'll always say hello, wave or nod.

I hope you said hello or nodded as you went by.
Some ignorant arse didn't when I said hello this morning.
Was it because I was on my winter bike that has mudguards?
Tool :wacko:

my bike takes guards and i haven't taken them off yet what with winter not yet ended :biggrin: it really gets my goat that the ponsed up roadies in matching kit to bike don't even nod let alone raise a hand or say anything.

there is some smugness on my part having taken the moral high ground by making a greeting that my bike probably cost more than theirs :ohmy:;)

i mean it's not as if i'm riding in central london where i'd have to say hi to loads of people, i ride round the hampshire country side and may see just a couple of other riders in 30 miles so it's not like i'm having to say hello every couple of minutes for 2 hours, surely it must be the same for them?

P.S. if you ride in hampshire and see someone on a blue bike with guards and the rider says hello at least raise a hand, i mean it's not like i want to pick curtains with you :smile:;);)
