I used to think the same about roadies and MTB's. But the last few weeks I have been doing a few rides with plenty of other bike traffic. Plenty of miles to keep in trim but no pace as I have lost fitness. After the 10th bike that I should wave to on a long drag- I gave up- stuck me head down and worked on the slope.

But the ones I do not get are the faster bikes coming from behind that give no warning. There is a sudden sight in the corner of my eye and they are there- past and gone. If I catch another bike (Very Rare in my case) I give a warning that I am coming past or just sitting to catch my breath.
