A few of them shouted something at me about my clothing, but I wasn't sure what it was all about.
They seem to all get a good laugh though.
From what I could tell. These guys were all decked out in cycling gear, riding "expensive" (at least they looked expensive to me) bikes.
I on the other hand, was wearing just a plain old t-shirt and shorts and riding my daily commuter.
It's not a "top-o-the-line ride", but I keep it in good working order and it gets me from point a to point b quickly.
As we rode by each other. Some one shouted "Nube!", and again another roar of laughter.
I've been riding nonstop since I was a kid and I'm 50+ years old now.
Needless to say...
I got my new coffee press and I hope I never see these guys again.
What a downer that was. :-(
Am I alone, with this type of treatment form other "cyclists"?
That didn't happen, but cool story.

In other news, my future wife Maria Sharapova has been suspended two years for doping
