What do you guys think?
That would have to definitely be a resounding yes !!! As an aside, mountainbikers don't use perf. enhancing drugs ( or shave thier legs for that matter as long as we're on the topic ) I love road bikes but i have reservations about many "roadbikers" i have encountered & seen in various media ntrvws. Lastly, as far as i can c, road bikes generally cost more than mountainbikes, hence roadbikers generally have more $ 2 spend= higher income=higher arrogance/ snobbery ratio.Originally posted by zperrys

I don't know about that. I love to ride, and ride every chance I get. I don't shave my legs (though I have in the past), since I'm not racing this year. Is that it?
Some of the posts suggest that roadies training don't have time to socialize. Maybe a wave? I've seen motorcyclists do it. Maybe they're not suffering so much .
Well, about the cost of the bike.... I dropped $2100 US on my road bike because I wanted a sweet ride. But I still give a wave at the passers-by.
I'm just wondering what you guys think about this.

Obviously, it's the leg shaving that's causing the problem.....now how come I can manage to keep things in check without turning into a nasty person...??

Wax mate...it's the far more civilized approach.

Yes, but my wife has NOTHING good to say about it (but continues to do it). My Gillette Mach 3 Turbo has served me well in the past, and will again, no doubt!
Shave on!

Don´t know about America but here a cyclist is a cyclist : when you can you chat , say hi , wave etc AND stop to give aid what ever type of bike you ride .
ps US MTB riders have been caught taking drugs just as US roadies have so don´t be so " holy´er than thou " .
