I have been tempted(and I still think I will do at some point) to turn around, catch up to them and ask them why they snubbed. I am a cyclist, but I don't understand why cyclists have to think they are so cool and better than others.

The older I get, the more I realize that perceived slights often have nothing to do with me. Someone cuts me off in traffic? S/he might not have seen me at all. Or perhaps s/he was dealing with an emergency. A colleague walks by without saying hello? Maybe s/he's preoccupied with an important work matter or thinking about a family problem. And so on.
