I used to wave at passing cyclist, most don't wave back. I can't understand the concept of we all ride but are prejudiced against each other. Seems to me that this philosophy isn't that far away from racism. I hope those "elite" cyclists recall that once upon a time, we were all beginners and it should be those that are experienced teaching the beginners their wisdom but not their arrogance.
