Not sure where you guys are riding but I haven’t had any of these issues riding in San Diego and OC. We go out every saturday and ride someplace different each week. We also take 2-3 trips a year…last year going to Fruita, Sedona and Hurricane/Zion. The only issue/attitude I’ve ever experienced was from a 65-70 year old female hiker who wasn’t going to yield the trail at any cost. We had 6-7 riders stacked up behind her. When the trail finally forked, we went around her as she made some snide comment as we went by. Even then, we just said "have a nice day" as we went pedaled away.
