The higher the price of racing bike the smaller the seat. The smaller the seat the more the pain. If you are in pain you are not in a very good mood to be friendly. Lastly the position of the hard on racing bikes with the seat way up in the air, and the handle bars way down low put roadies heads so far down it it hard to see anythng other than their front wheel. Im sure that is why they are not really ignoring you, they just probably didnt see you.
