Posers (poseurs) share all the above qualities except i can drop them, a roadie not so much.
I wear the "costume"..... I ride a high end bike.....I am very competitive on the bike.....I ride a couple hundred miles every week... if someone is having a mechanical I always stop to lend assist..I ALWAYS WAVE and usually the firstwave. Am I a roadie? We really need to stop stereotyping riders. Not everyone fits into a nice neat little catagory. There are commuters who never wave back and thats there choice. No need to bash them over it.
