    there are so many cyclists on the roads here I would never consider waving to everyone. it would be a parade instead of a bike ride. if someone's stopped with a mechanical, I am going to ask if they need anything and will stop and help if they do. but I am not waving at everyone, sorry. I dont think that makes me a bike snob.

    All the cyclists in my area are pretty friendly (I DO live in the South, though). The older men are the nicest and most encouraging. The worst treatment I ever got was actually from another female cyclist.

    The younger racing crowd tend to keep to themselves, but that's fine with me--I'm not trying to keep up with them.

    Where I'm currently living, we road cyclists are such a novelty that most of us wave or nod to each other. Back home, most nod or wave, except for the MUST-GO-INSANELY-FAST-type guys, who are in their own little bubble of awesome, apparently.
    And let's not talk about the guy with the Pinarello who seemed to think it was his job to be a tool...
    At least I don't leave slime trails.
