I used to regularly attend a fairly big Monday night ride. On a good evening we'd have around 150 riders. There was a fast group, that I didn't ride with, many of whom had some pretty toney bikes. None of those riders ever bothered to talk with me.

Shortly after Mrs. Grouch and I acquired our beautiful Santana Noventa tandem with shadeshifter paint we drove out to the start with the bike on a roof rack. As I got out of the car I noticed a semi-circle of a dozen or more these guys all looking up at the bike. They still didn't talk to me. Not so much as a "Nice bike," not one single word.

I didn't say "Hi" to them either.
