PygaSchmyga Posted July 31, 2018 Share Huh? Did you have too much coffee this morning? Don't attack me and call me names in the same breath as saying someone else is a nasty person for being aggressive and saying rude things to people. Maybe YOU should look at the stress in your life as the OP suggested? Alternatively have a giggle, read Adrian Mole and drink some chamomile tea. Or was it you and you're trying to deflect?

Robbie Stewart Posted July 31, 2018 Share "Roadies He was on a mountain bike. In his defence, he looked super professionally kitted out." OOOOOOps lol see you dont have to be a dick to be a roadie.. but it helps True, one indeed does not have to be a dick / box or otherwise to be roadie, but being loaded on some junk seems to help, if only for one's asthma...

Wheelsuck Posted July 31, 2018 Share I must add to this, Go and run the spruit on the weekend, when I run I greet almost everyone(and definitely every single dog) most runners reply with a nod or a wave or a howsit.If you lucky roughly 1/3rd of mtb riders reply, most just charge on and ignore you clearly strava (w)ankering their way through life. If you go for a cycle on the spruit:you will get a reply from almost all mtb riders except the true die hard strava (w)ankers, The number of runners that will reply stays the same. Cyclists treat runners and people on foot the same way cars treat cyclists, it is a sad truth.Yep have to agree-The Spruit doubles as my run route that I run with the dogs if I am doing Intervals or such like otherwise I run through from the Blue Bridge to Emmerentia. So very familiar with the type and it takes all kinds. But these guys who chase the fame of Strava-you can see the manic desperation-and they get bedonderd if you say something. I have taught my dogs to give track and mostly I get a Thank You but I know when I am on the Spruit to leave my ego at home. .

Have sadly also noticed the same on my runs and rides... the mountain bike fraternity has sadly and most definitely been infiltrated en masse by some other worldly snobbery I just can't quite comprehend. Barry, maybe we should setup a regular Tuesday coffee the next few weeks with a base ball bat in tow for any Stravassholes trying to mow down our little ones?

And seeing that Jewbacca has repurposed "Transcendental Tuesday" into Bedonderde Dinsdag, why not throw in a whinge session about the Spruit? Somebody did already? Jirrrr, who knew?

Slowbee Posted July 31, 2018 Share What are the chances this guy is on Strava ? Brings to mind that thread about the guy from CT who tracked down his attacker and went and had a drink with the guy. This cyclist needs to sit down with the OP and the school kids and have a chat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johan A Marais Posted July 31, 2018 Share Why, oh why do you feel the needed to be greeted by everyone you see on the trail, on the road, on the mountain. Get some friends... I do not know you, probably do not want to know you, so why must I greed you. Do you greed every motorist when in your car, or every person in the mall when you walk past them. Come one man, get over it. coppi, Escapee.., Odinson and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
