    I encountered about a hundred on the lanes yesterday. I was in a large 4×4.

    Every single one cheerfully smiled and waved when I pulled over for them! 😯

    Have aliens replaced them but made a fatal mistake? Has the EPO been contaminated with E?

    You’ve been contaminated by mountainbikers. I did notice a lot of peaks and camelbaks. Maybe manners are contagious?

    There’s definitely something afoot!
    Most drivers I met out whilst riding last weekend were very considerate (too).

    When on my mtb I alway say hello to roadies and normally get a hello back. Went out on the road bike in baggies and a muddy camelback and they just ignored me – haha

    Taff – I have had exactly the same experience.

    I bought a road bike in January and initially wore Giro Zen and baggies, too cold for just lycra! nearly all roadies ignored me.

    Since then I have bought a road helmet and have been lycra shorts in the warmer weather, they all acknowledge me now! V strange!

    I was walking to the bike shop with my SS wheel and got a wave from a roadie riding up the street. I was so shocked as almost every roadie I pass on the mtb that I wave to ignores it. To be fair so do most mtbers I pass. Maybe it’s a Glasgow thing. Laughed at some poor woman in city centre yesterday in the pouring rain with back to front forks. She was very puzzled when I pointed it out.
