Why do so many other riders keep saying "Hello" or waving at me?
I don't know you and I'm just out for a ride.

OK - I admit it.

I was trolling, just fishing to see if anyone agreed.

I just get sort of pissed off by fellow cyclists and refuse to acknowledge a greeting from someone who has a common enjoyment in cycling.

Usually most riders are fine, sometimes MTBers are bemused at a wave from a roadie, and more common are the blank stares from large investors in kit or clothing.

As an old and slow cyclist, I believe that it's good manners; particularly if you are overtaking.
