Now that I'm back to riding regularly, albeit by means of my stupid UPWRONG, I've noticed something peculiar.
I go out for a few miles most mornings, as I'm able, & I frequently see people walking, running, & cycling. I normally
smile, greet them with a "Good Morning", & wave. Most walkers will respond with either a greeting or a wave.
Same with the cyclists, most will respond in kind. Runners? Not so much....
Seems about 9 out of 10 runners will totally ignore me, refusing to even acknowledge my existence! No greeting, no
wave, NOTHING. Some of course have ear-buds in, & can't hear me. Yeah, I get that. But they SEE me wave. Still, nothing!
Are they just snobbish, snotty, stuck-up, elitists, who think they're somehow superior to cyclists because their choice of
exercise is more strenuous than ours? I don't know.
Oh well, in the meantime, I'll continue to cast us HPVers (whether on 2 wheels, 3 wheels, or 4), in a positive light,
while smiling, greeting, & waving!
