But ...

1. There are a lot more people on bikes at the start of the season than at the end.
2. These early season riders are a bit rude.

I was on the side of the road, clearly adjusting something when 4 riders go by in my direction. Not a peep out of them. While I had the situation under control, they had no idea. Not a single "Need help?" I don't like that.

And to keep it C&V, I was riding this.
