I think here in the U.S., because there are so many obstacles for cyclists, we tend to feel a certain sense of camaraderie when they see one another, a kind of "drawn together through adversity" thing. And now the cycling community is getting large enough that we get to have sub-groups too! I've traipsed around the UK more than once on bike and it is so much more bike friendly than here in the U.S. You may get the wet weather, but you get better cycling and better health care. Lucky
