But occasionally, you find the odd idiot. Ars*h*les to whoever won't stop to help, I say, he probably knows bugger all about bikes anyway. If I ever saw you with a broken bike I'd try to help, and I'm sure the rest of our retro bretheren would, too.
Incidentally, I may have a spare stem knocking about, yours for Karma of course. PM me if you're stuck.

Most of them give a nod, but one bloke refuses to acknowledge me - won't move left or right, ignores any "Mornin'" or nods... And I pass him twice a day in each direction. He is my commuting nemesis. He's not even a roadie
I suppose, for the roadie, there is only "You and the competition". Nodding or giving way costs vital 100ths on the daily commute.

I get the same blanking thing here occasionally, usually from the guys on their full sus spangly Specialized machines who I out-climb on my tatty singlespeed.
It seems that around here Specialized are the 'all the gear but no idea' ride of choice. Used to be Cannondales and Marins.
BTW...who is the lass on your avatar? The Mrs?
