I rode in the Jackrabbit Stampede Saturday. It is one of these charity rides that bills itself as a race. Of course, 90% of the people there aren't even trying to race, but some do.

Anyway, I'm riding a cruiser bike on the 40 mile route. The 62 mile route makes an extra loop and then comes back down that same route. So being slow, sure enough, after a while, I get passed by a couple of guys just flying like the wind, who presumably were in the lead on that 62 mile route. As they came up on me, they said "On your left", I shifted slightly to the right and they said "thanks" as they zipped on by. It was another five minutes or more before anyone else came by.

I thought it was neat that the two fastest guys out there could and did speak, but a lot of the guys behind them didn't bother.

In the OP's case, maybe this was a foreign bicycling tour group that didn't understand English?
