today's commute was ok. this morning at the intersection, i see a guy riding in Novara Randonee 2004 bike. it's a nice bike. i said hi to him.. he just looked at my 10yr old rockhopper coverted with road slick and just scuffed. he didn't even say hi back.

i just wanted to say that's a nice bike.. but i can't believe that even if he had on matching jersey and other stuff like that.. it's ONLY a $800 bike at REI. it's not like over $1500.. and he's giving me dirty look. if the bike is over 1.5K then yea.. he could do that.. because i'd give him props for his nice bike. but i'm in my rolled up golf pants, golf jacket and my bell helmet, I still don't feel i deserve that look that's all.

i have a $500 sirrus at home and even if i do ride.. i still say hi to everyone regardless.. because the main thing is everyone should enjoy their ride. to me that's just very discouraging and disrespectful to other riders. other than that... it was a great ride. sorry.. had to vent~
