Not that I really care but it's something I'm starting to notice more and more. I ride over 2000 miles a year and consider myself a decent cyclist. I ride some group rides and really love dropping those snobs on the hills, yea they pass me again on the down hills but I wonder if anybody else that ride flat bar bikes or hybrids notice this.
Thats not to say it's all fancy bike guys but its more that I can remember from years past. We are all cyclist enjoying our sport so a friendly gesture seems decent. Oh and if I see your in need of help with a flat or something you can kiss my flat bar ass goodbye I'm not stopping.
