Personally I have come to the conclusion that cyclists are just plain nice people. Whenever riding on the road or the bike path and you see another cyclist, there is always a nod and a smile of acknowledgment. It makes this one of the most pleasant sports to be a part of.

Yes, Snapdragon, I think you are right, we are all "civilized," and a nice bunch of people who appreciate one another, at least for the most part.
