Firstly, this is not aimed at all cyclists - just the ones in my area !
Whenever I go out on a training ride, I can almost always predict the response I'll get from other cyclists I see, by what category they fall into.
MTB riders - all friendly, and will say hello or something similar.
Ordiary fitness cyclists (which I class myself as) - you know reasonable bike and functional kit - very friendly bunch.
Club cyclists - dressed in club or replica team kit and on very expensive bikes - you are lucky if they even give you a second glance - let alone speak.
They are obviously above speaking to somebody on a cheaper bike, or without the flash kit!!
Give me a runner any day - at least they all speak !
Rant over
Paul.

Mind you I am miserable anyway!!
do cyclists get blisters on their bums then? ;-)
You can get men ones as well.
Go for a tractor seat, Monique, your bum'll look small on that... actually, yours prob is already ;-)

‘I’ve never had saddle problems in 20 years of riding but when Dr Minkow sent me the Body Geometry saddle, I put it on the bike and rode 111 miles the next day. I’ve ridden probably 5,000 miles total and the point is, you don’t need to have saddle difficulties to get the benefit from this model. It looks good, it’s racy, it’s light, it’s well built and well designed. And bottom line is, it’s more comfortable than other saddles. It’s just a great saddle.’
