I thought of this thread the other day when I went riding with two friends. I have a nice road bike, and I always ride with lycra bibs and a jersey; but my two friends don’t ride like I do, and they were wearing shorts, t-shirts, and sneakers. So my friend is riding along, and one of the local trail punks pushes his friend out in front of him while he is riding (on purpose). My friend falls off his bike to avoid the kid, and he gets hurt pretty badly (a couple cracked ribs and some pretty bad cuts). I went ahead and called the cops, because these kids need to pay for what they did. So, as we’re sitting there talking to the police, a roadie rides by us on the greenway trail, and I can just see him giving us this stare. He’s especially staring at me, then when his eyes meet mine, he makes a sneer with his nose, rolls his eyes, and rides away. You all know the kind of “You’re absolute trash, and I’m so much better than you” kind of stare. I wanted to just go chase this weekend warrior roadie down and slap him in the face. First of all, if you’re using the greenway trail for a training ride, you’re probably not that hardcore of a roadie in the first place. Second of all, when he was riding away, I could tell he was seriously nothing special, as he struggled for like five minutes to get his cleat back in his clips. I saw him at a club ride last weekend and took delight in blowing past him in his full Saeco gear.
