Clinton1 Posted December 24, 2012 Share Well this thread proves it I reckon. Many cyclists are apparently rude, stuck up, "I'm so much better than you" snobs. To those who are, I can only hope your life isn't as miserable as it appears when I see you out on the road. You'll still get a greeting from me but I now expect your miserable silence in response. For those that aren't, good on you and I look forward to greeting you on the road.

Caerus Posted December 24, 2012 Share Do you expect everyone who also drives a car to great you? Do you great every other pedestrian I the city ? Get over it.No one in a Porsche ever waves back at me Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/125010-cyclists-are-rude/page/6/#findComment-1891756 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJR Posted December 24, 2012 Share It should actually read:Christmas shoppers are rude! I'll gladly deal with a bunch of rude cyclists before finding myself in a bunch of Christmas shoppers. They are a dangerous and ugly mob. Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/125010-cyclists-are-rude/page/6/#findComment-1891760 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clinton1 Posted December 24, 2012 Share It should actually read:Christmas shoppers are rude! They are, for the must part. But again, the degree of rudeness, and ease with which it makes an appearance, is probably a reflection of the general demeanor of the said individual. Maybe cycling just attracts more naturally rude individuals for some reason.

Jaco-fiets Posted December 24, 2012 Share When 2 cyclists pass one another the one with the less expensive bike needs to greet 1st and the the one on the most expensive bike has the option to return the greet or not. This is the way it works NNNNOOOOOOTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But unfortunately it seems to be the mentality of allot of cyclists. I like to greet people and really don't care if they greet back or not. I am out there to ride my bike, not to make friends Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/125010-cyclists-are-rude/page/6/#findComment-1891768 Share on other sites More sharing options...
