Grebel Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 Some okes just don't greet. Our group cycles past this runner on weekday morning rides.It's become a thing - we greet him everytime, but he just runs past with his head down.Used to irk me .. now we joke about it.Some okes are just miserable *****, doesnt mean you have to be. I've been living in the same house for the last 17 years. There is a guy and his wife that have been living up the road for the same time if not longer that run in the afternoons around the same time I get home from work. I see them most days and we make eye contact. I wave and get the death stare... Now I ignore them. Some people are just unfriendly gits.

Grebel Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 What I really have an issue with is Ninja cyclists that sneak up on you on the trail... I am in my own little happy place riding along enjoying the fresh air and scenery when they announce themselves right behind you scaring the living shyte out of you!!
Skubarra Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 To the 20 plus cyclist I passed on Bottlary road last night and didn't say Hi, I'm sorry. Please don't feel bad or have sleepless nights about it.... I was to moertoe to great, promise next time I will say Halloooo. I see we are not giving the OP much love here on the Friday... I get that on a busy Bottelary training ride or on the tube in London it is pointless to try and greet everyone or expect to be greeted. But on a quiet trail on a weekday where you haven't seen another soul for the last 30 minutes, a fellow cyclist passes within a few centimeters of you, the least you can do is a give a grunt - I also would have thought "What a chop" if I was the OP (not sure I would have dared to post it on thehub though...)
Fat Boab Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 A far better, inverse game is to ride past someone, preferably on a hill, and irrespective whether you're dying, grab a breath, compose yourself, and brightly say hello/good morning, as you pass them, as if you're on a recovery ride. Double points, if they are on the rivet. Got to amuse oneself during the last-minute-947-training-season......
Robbie Stewart Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 I guess some people seem to think they are important and entitled... You mean like this lot?
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 Sure. What the hell is up with the one dude out on those trails with a little marshall board on his bike? Rudest piece of work I've ever had (cant call him a 530d online unforch). He's become a standing joke amongst us going riding there whether we'll pass the c-nut. The Tygerberg MTB club (or whatever it's called) really needs to let down his ego pressure and remind him he's not god. He's some stupid dutchman.Tallish guy, used to ride a hardtail Rocky Mountain but now rides an "ADRENALINE" chinese blank? Yeah. That's Eugene.
Skubarra Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 ... but Durbanville trails? Hell no, it's like every rider (9 out of 10) is chasing some Strava life-or-death time. No greeting, nothing, just ignoring. Not so sure about that man, 9 out of 10 people of the people on the Durbanville trails greet me (including the marshals) - the problem might lie with you....
Cyclewizz Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 A Friday thread that started on a Thursday night ? What has the hub come to ????

I was riding on Bottelary a few months ago returning from Jonkers, when a group of roadies passed me and jovially invited my boet and I to "join the train". I thanked them and declined with "die nommer is vol.." The stares I got....(priceless)

Poor form in my opinion, but maybe we are talking about different types of grunts here.

True. I guess I must constitute the 1, and then, I generally end up meeting all the other 1's on the trails of Tygerberg MTB. I fortunately have not had the displeasure of running in to those 9 poephols... (can't speak for this "Eugene", as I have not met him on the trails yet) He must be one of the 9...?
