So, you're all chatty as hell on the forum in the safe isolation of your work or home office, spewing opinion after opinion to complete strangers behind the safe anonymity of your online 'persona' yet you won't share a few short words with a fellow cyclist on the road?

Geez, I'm always ready to listen to those who are also willing to share their experiences, give tips, offer advice on trail selection, etc. If I have something to share in response, we both benefit. If I'm at a new spot, I always look for another rider to get ideas of good routes, etc.
