I'm just pissed it took until my 30s to discover road bikes. Now I'm in catch up mode

It's not paranoia, it's the badass look that comes with the bike. And the sight of a sports rider who thinks he's allowed to talk to me just because he has two wheels.

Seriously, Dude, let everyone express their feelings the way they want.

I ride for all types of reasons and in all types of moods...be they happy and friendly or surly and snobbish moods.

Yes I will always (unless it isn't practical) wave at other bikers but when I get off I ain't always up for the tediousness of making a new contact...you know all that uncomfortable smiling and making small talk?! Ewww - sometimes I could just vomit

Seriously though it requires a level of energy and 'desire' that I don't always have.

Sometimes I ride because I want to be just in my own head.

When I ride I am not just someones wife, mother, employee - I am actually completely me and fully focussed on something that is well a little bit selfish.

...don't take it personal if people aren't as happy, interested and outgoing as YOU think they should be...maybe they did just get a speeding ticket, maybe they just out for a blat after discovering their wife in bed with another man - whatever!

Just enjoy YOUR ride and those days where people on bikes around you want to have a chat with you, and when they don't or the vibe is getting you down - just enjoy the solitary awesomeness of going for a nice hammer on your primo machine
