Maybe they only say hello to riders without helmets.

SHOCC - Sans Helmet Old Codgers Club....I look forward to receiving my membership invitation when I'm old enough not to care about helmets or whether other riders like me or not, or what time I start work tomorrow etc

I'm working hard on the old codger bit already....so my missus keeps telling me

Smokin Joe

As a helmetless old codger, I wave to everyone...

What's your definition of old... everyone not younger than you?

I'm a member of G.O.M.O.H. (Grumpy old men of Hucknall) we meet in our "local". I'm officially too young but my grumpiness level has qualified me for membership.

As for old codgers who are anti-social just scowl and give 'em the finger

Not really, live and let live.

They're probably hacked off with decades of hectoring from the 'you should wear a helmet' brigade.

They probably just escaped from their sheltered housing didnt even know they were out riding a bike. :shock:

Yep. You could be talking about the old codger I regularly see, wearing his red cap and crawling up a 2% drag in the big ring at about 30rpm.

And while we're at it, old people should be banned from shops between 1 and 2pm during the week! Why do they insist on ruining our lunch hours by clogging up the shops, paying for things in pennies as usual? It's not like they have anything stopping them going earlier or later!

We do it because we can and we just love to p*ss off the younger generation. It's so easy to do, we hardly even have to work at it. Young people are so, so easy.
