Just an observation really
As a lifelong pillion passager on a motorike (and a sometime rider of one) I have often noted how EVERY biker will nod to every other biker when out on their bikes - except to mopeds, whether the moped riders don't nod and the bikers then ignore them or whether 'peds are beneath notice, I am not sure
BUT now I am cycling regularly - to work and back every day and longer bike rides at weekends i have a sneaky suspicion that I am regarded as a 'moped'!!!!!
It is either that or cyclists are not so friendly!!!
I can smile, nod or even say hello to fellow cyclists and rarely get an acknowledgement - except for the guy who sometimes over takes me in the mornings with a cheery hello - no one else even nods!!!! Is it just wiltshire? Do you have to pass a test? Do you have sectret codes. or clothes?
Please Help me see what I'm doing wrong
