The Endur-bro is a scourge...I imagine they are seeing themselves as starring in their own little Remy Metailler shredit and can't stop or wave because they need to look "cool".
I see about a 50/50 split of eBikes/Bikes on the trail now. Most of the guys on eBikes, especially on the easier trails, are hauling ass, looked angry and never wave/say hello/smile. Maybe they are working through their demons, I don't know.
And no, its not just eBikes, I see mountain bikers doing the same stuff. I've been seeing a guy lately, fully lycra-racer'd out, heart monitor and everything (with his jersey open of course) absolutely hauling...but doing it on the easiest trail in the area. He flew past me going the other way, no nod, no acknowledgment. I can only imagine how many hikers/other riders he is buzzing past and scaring.
I think its this "me me me" mentality that is creeping into just about everything. Gotta go fast for Strava. Gotta match and look serious for the Insta. I don't know.
