Are men bike snobs?
Ok. Maybe I'm being hyper-sensitive, but there is something that I'm noticing in the cycling community around where I live. Men don't acknowledge women riders! I'm talking about while passing on the roads, men don't even give a nod, a wave, or even a glance. I've just gotten into cycling but I've been a fairly serious runner all my life, we runners male or female (even when suffering) usually give a nod at least. Women cyclists around here always give a friendly smile and nod...but nope, not the men.
I'm wondering if I"m being overly sensitive since recently I heard a woman in our riding group say about a couple of guys that passed us on a climb, "Oh, those guys were nice & even encouraging for a change."
Am I over-analyzing this or is it legitimate?
