My statement does not come close to making that statement or assumption.
"I see schmucks walking down the street" does not mean "All people walking down the street are schmucks."
If A is the set containing "All people walking down the street" and B is the set containing "Schmucks," B is a contained subset of A. Being a member of set B means also being a member of set A, but being a member of set A does not necessarily imply being a member of set B.
Learn English, please.
Wow. Thanks for the tip.

Riding here on the back roads of CT solves the problem because there are hardly ever any other riders. Although the other day, I was the racer out riding hard, and I waved to a casual rider .... but did he wave back ? NO ! Did I care ? NO !

I stopped caring about what other people think and how they behave a long time ago, life is much sweeter this way. Just crack a PBR, sit back and enjoy the show.

Jesus. I don't wave at every schmuck I see walking down the street, do I? How is cycling any different? Why do I suddenly have some obligation to wave just because we're both riding bikes? Get over it already and enjoy your ride.
I wave at people I know, duh, because I know them. That's what you do when you see someone familiar to you. If I happen to notice someone going out of their way to wave at me, and it doesn't interfere with my ride, maybe I'll nod back or something, but come on.
Seriously folks, if you really get hurt feelings when someone doesn't wave at you, maybe you need to get a job at the DMV or or the IRS or some place where you'll feel what it's like to be REALLY hated, then when you get back on the bike, it won't be so bad that somebody doesn't respond to you.
Sheesh. I got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning...

You've got to be kidding. How can you start this up again and not expect the same thing to happen as before? And it's manners, not manors. Sorry for being a jerk by pointing out your error. Edit: there were like a bazillion spelling errors in that post, but that one really jumped out at me.
