OP- it's not just FG riders that are rude, roadies can be rude, too. Basically it's people who spend tons of money on bicycles and are competitive about it. To be honest, I kinda hate the whole cycling "scene" or "culture." I have, however, met a dozen or so people that I really like and ride with, but for the most part I have given up on talking to other cyclists that I see. Unless they are friendly to me first.
