There are more in the early season, and more in the shower at work!
I try not to judge rude or not, with the exception of bad behavior. WRT stopped cyclists, I size up the situation they are in while approaching. If they look like they might want help, I'll ask. If they look like they know what they are doing and in the middle of it, I don't interrupt.
WRT clothing. Its my business and not anyone else's. What I wear is for me not for others to notice. Same goes for my bikes, well mostly. I would rather someone notice my bike than what I wear. Now what would be worth noticing is Lycra/Wool and an old rusty-just-pulled-from-the-shed Firestone balloon tire bike!
