Okes getting their post count up so they can buy and sell to Rouxtjie

Oh my gosh...why so serious!

 

Coming from the guy who keeps count of the people who don't greet him and post it on thehub?

This doesn't sound like much fun. Buy yourself a mtb and go off road dude

Mountain or road? Lets have a rap battle!

I Don't mind greeting others and I don't mind if they don't greet back.

 

But I hate akward greetings. Like coming up behind someone and then greeting...

When is the appropriate time to say: "Mornin!"

I once greeted a guy in this situation who was in deep deep thought. Scared the **** out of him.

[Bonus]

I couldn't keep track of the number of people that greet me on a ride any more than I can keep track of how many lengths I've swam at the pool.

 

It starts off so easy, 1,2,3 and then suddenly I remember that I haven't been counting for goodness knows how long.

It's a good thing I read this thread! If someone came up behind me shouting "track, track!!" I would just think he is excited about being on the single track! At least now I know it's MTB language for "move over slowcoach, I want to get past"

 

I greet people all the time because I like being friendly. I don't really mind people not returning the greeting - maybe they are having a bad day, maybe they are just shy, maybe they are a dick, who knows. What I do know is that I am in control of what I do and say, but I have zero control over what anyone else does and says. Why stress over something I have no control over?

 

Don't be a dick, that's all!

[Tubehunter]

Nice BDF, said it cool. Do you greet because you are hunting for a response or do you greet because irrespective of what the other person does, you feel better knowing you greeted?

['Kaze Pete]

Remember to shout 'fore' as you approach in case the other is a golfer.

The answer is simple, if their bike is cheaper than yours don't greet them, if their bike is more expensive than yours race them.

I am too n00b to know the differences, so I just greet everyone [emoji12]

This is commuter related. Cruz-ed into town this morning. Next moment a oke said "môre" next to me when he passed on a mountain bike. Stop been so bloody friendly, ek het my gat afgeskrik!
