Spud Posted December 31, 2009 Share I ignored you because you are rude, I was talking to my mate when you waved. At least wait till I am done. After our ride I walked through South Gate Mall and greeted everyone I saw and they all looked at me as though I am weird, then on my way home I waved at all the other 82 985 motorists I passed at only 5 waved back........I don't get it.

slowpoke Posted December 31, 2009 Share hmmm, when i'm on my sv only the big-bike riders greet, when i'm on the nxr no other biker greets, not even ianj! oh wait, wrong bikes...... i've given up caring - i greet if i can (even if it's just a lifted hand cos i'm gasping for breath) but if i don't get greeted back i don't mind.

'Dale Posted December 31, 2009 Share TYPES OF GREETING: 1. The Helmet Nod. Most distant. Kinda formal. Yet subtle acknowledgement of the other cyclist. 2. The Raised Hand that does not leave the Handle Bar. Somewhat casual. Yet not quite committed. But acknowledgement is there for sure. 3. The Queen's Wave. Relaxed. Open. Obviously friendly. 4. The Wave + "Howzit...". Very cool. Mandela cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omlette Posted January 1, 2010 Share To be honest there are times when I also don't wave at other cyclists. If you're out walking' date=' does that mean you have to greet every person that you walk past? Sometimes you just don't feel like it... and only because... you just don't. People should stop being so sensitive.[/quote'] It?s not about being sensitive, it?s being courteous. Justin is one of those cyclists like me, i like greeting my fellow cyclist, even the roadies. We are a ?click? or ?band of brothers (and sisters)? , a social network of people ENJOYING what we do, cycling. What harm is it to raise your hand and acknowledge your fellow cyclist? unless you have your seat post stuck up your ass.Justin i cheers you, keep the positive spirit. That what makes this sport GREAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firewolf Posted January 1, 2010 Share i don't wave at riders on pinnerello's - especially the dogma. And even more so a pinnerello rider with a rear view mirror on the handle bar. Dammit! I want one. The pinnerello. Not the handle bar mirror. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
predictor Posted January 1, 2010 Share You people should move to the Souf. Here wa are all liking to greet ich other. Seriously, we tend to get more people greeting. I tandem with my 12 year old daughter and everyone greets as well. No issues for us at least or maybe it is just the fact that if you do not greet I turn around and chase you down and beat the living last remaining crap out of you til you greet back, oh sorry got confused with motorists again. Ah well at least I know that everyone that tries in whatever form or fashion to greet back leaves an impression on my daughter at least. For the rest we understand.
