IGNORANCE IS BLISS!!??

pipeman

have started cycling again after a long lay off,,,i am doing a few "pootles"around the malvern and upton on severn area as often as i can,,its grand being awheel again,,,pedaling the quiet lanes hereabouts,,but something has changed,,dramaticaly!!!!other cyclists are now PIG IGNORANT!! :shock: not a nod,wave or cheery hello these days,,they just stare ahead,or ride past without a glance!!!!what has become of the fellowship of the wheel!!!!!i come from a background of club riding in the 70's and 80's.back then we allways hat a greeting for each other,,why has it changed??is it a sign of what gordon brown calls"britain's broken society"???i find it realy sad i must admit a sorry state to have reached,,,a reflection of the selfish race we have become,,,i shall greet all other riders,,no matter what they may think of me!!!

Are you the pervert on a roadbike who got a little too friendly at the train station the other day and started telling me about how his nipples bleed when his jersey rubs? I'm not making it up, and I didn't appreciate it....

High on a hill on Pinarello
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo!
Loud was the voice of the lonely rider
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo!

Folks in a town that was quite remote heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo!
Lusty and clear from the rider’s throat heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo!

If waves are so important to you, why don't you ditch the bike and buy a boat :?: :?

Might be, you too :?: .
I notice your postings are not as upbeat as they were a few days ago.

If only you could have kept up that unification stance a little longer, I was thinking of pulling Tony back and sending you at as peace envoy to Palestine .

Well I did get rather `damp` this morning I have `history` with Palestinians from over 20 years ago, I doubt I would be a good choice at the moment .

Ok, excuse accepted . Anyway you are doing a good job here, I think it has bottomed out now, the only way is up.
I feel better after a few miles in the sun this afternoon 8)

Cheers SNORRI, I reckon you're right about bottoming out , I know a few people are 'lurking' to check how things are going and some will return I' hope. Sounds as if you did better with the weather than I did. Got wet early on this morning (early rides are nice and quiet ) and went out again around 11.30 till around 2.00 but it was dull, no rain though a bit muggy - not very enjoyable, but a bit of crap makes the good bits seem even better .

No probs down here in 'sunny' Wales. most are nice and we stick together against the forces of evil in their cars
