Cyclicts on the other side of the road give me a long look and then turn away when I wave or nod to them.Miserable barstewards.

    I think there's an inverse relationship between friendliness and non-helmet wearing and/or shaved legs.

    As a helmet wearing non-shaver, I seem to be beneath contempt for some of my shaven-legged (and presumably solid headed team-cap-clad) brethren.

    :lol:

    Dont feel so bad about it. Not everyone is sociable.

    I tend to keep to myself but if someone says hello I'll say hello back.. bit hard when you're going 35mph downhill or 25 on the flat. :oops:

    Hmm, well I am also a helmet wearing non-shaver so there may be something in that.

    These are people that I see having a good look at me, at cruising speeds, but then refuse to acknowledge me.It happened a few times today.

    100% huggable, as all committed road riding, rooting-tooting, hard charging, rumping-pumping bike people are. :!:

    they're probably at home now thinking exactly the same thing...

    everyone claims to wave - nobody admits to ignoring other riders. So where exactly are all these people...??

    Well they can`t be thinking that of me because they clearly saw me wave.Some cyclists are just a bit up themselves.

    I always think that the ones who have to post on Bikeradar about being ignored are the ones up themselves.

    So what if you got ignored, get on with your life.
    I like bikes...

    I tend to get waves anyway.

    Then again, if i waved any more obviously, it'd look like I was indicating right...
