Am I so out of touch with modern cycling?

Sorry to say but its mostly the jeans-guys that are always very unrelaxed and derogatory about "the others". They DO care and have any "opinion". Not the black super-men in their NALINI BiB spandex tights 
They mostly just dont care.
"I bought my first MTB and did my first race in the late 80s - I guess you werent even born yet? Now what do YOU kid want in your all black Rose online shop dress?"
So cringe ...

Never too late. Just warming up now.
Anyone find the Santini 199€ bibs under the Lidl 12€ Parkside work shorts great?

i am usually so spaced out on a ride, i don't even acknowledge myself. too many drugs in my youthOn the flip side. Maybe the person riding along , is sick of people and simply wants to exercise in peace without having to wave every 2 mins at every passing cyclist.
I do acknowledge riders if I’m crossing paths with someone who looks like they are out for a leisure ride or if they gesture towards me. On a sunny summers day I simply won’t bother as I’d be like a nodding dog. But if I’m out in the depths of winter , freezing my balls off - and I see another poor soul doing the same - I will deffo give a nod of mutual idiocy.
But just because someone is riding a bike , doesn’t suddenly make us amigos. Imagine if every car driver wanted a wave as they pass you , and also needed to have a look at what your wearing
Im usually trying my hardest to relax and not think ( or more likely thinking about work , life or bikes)

I would have to use my waving hand to shield my eyes
I sometimes wave, or nod. I can see who's out for fun and who's on their way somewhere usually. Most people are c#*nts anyway, whether on a bike or not. Equally, most people aren't c#*nts at all, once you know where they're coming from- but we tend live in our own subjective bubbles a lot of the time. Getting out there cycling helps, which is perhaps why we do it? One thing I do know though- you're all proper c#*nts

Well this thread made me chuckle. I read it like a "Flying Circus" script.
