I agree with the lack of greetings/acknowledgement by fellow mtb'ers on the shore. But I wouldn't chalk it up to big city mentality necessarily. I've been riding the shore since the late 90s, and the vibe between mountain bikers was a lot friendlier back then -- an unspoken camaraderie. I feel that as the ridership has grown over the years, conversely, that friendly acknowledgment between riders on the trail has disappeared. It's a shame --- the growing popularity has had a positive impact on our sport in many ways, but not this one.
