How many roadies deserve a stick in the spokes for their attitudes? Probably the same as the number of MTB'ers. Tell ya what...if you're ever in the good ol flatlands of KS, email me and I'll show ya some trails with courteous riders. People who are more concerned with giving someone else the rightaway than losing momentum.
People that shout obscenities around here get dealt with. That's just the way it works. (you just don't see it on the trail, though) Heck...I accidentally ran a poor guy off the trail this past fall on accident. He flew off his ride and into the trees. I think it was a mutual mistake. We stopped and talked for a couple minutes and we were on our way.
"Have a good ride" we say...and we mean it.
That's just the way it is and SHOULD be.
I bow down to you, sir *bows* with much respect.
