why is it that whenever i wave at a fellow cyclist, some of them don't even look in my direction? i was out this morning, and a guy in a bright orange pro kit (not wearing a helmet), just kept pedaling and didn't return my wave. i hate that!!!! i think it is such a snobby thing to do.

same thing happened when i was out at the lake. i waved and said good morning, and he said nothing.under my breath, i called him a not so nice name, and when he came back around the loop, he smiled big and said hello. maybe he heard me.

or the time i was pedaling my heart out, and this guy comes up on my left and passes me without letting me know he is there!! i could have knocked him into traffic, the shoulder is not that wide. i don't get it!! a little courtesy isn't going to hurt anyone. and, in some instances, it is safer to do so.
