Do Cyclists Greet Eachother?

[cd365]

Most of the I tend to nod and say hello, sometimes the head is down as I'm going for it and barely notice cyclists coming the other way or don't want to lose my concentration

A few months back when i got my first road bike it used to bother me especially were i ride in the Sunny Hills, were many many cyclists make there way to especially at weekends.What i have learnt is not to take it personally if they do not wave back etc, there are so many, i have now and am now just like them IT IS nothing personal it is just very time consuming and after a while my waving hand are my nodding head starts to hurt..So I Now understand why and we all just enjoy our time riding our bikes

To combine things, I suggest that we only greet cyclists wearing helmets.

I waved at @ianrauk the other day.

He didn't wave back because he was on his way to the Ferrari garage with his jar.

Don't worry, we are all just joshing.
As with all forum's certain topics seem to be reposted over and over again.

I asked this when I first started frequenting cycling forums, so ... the question is to be expected from time to time
Personally, I do if I can, I don't if I can't, and I don't worry if they don't

Personally I chase them down and pin them to the ground, shouting "hell-freakin-o" into their faces while spitting venom at anyone who dares to be passing by whilst I do Satan's work on earth.
This may be at odds with my previous reply

I usually give the INR (Impercetible Nod of Recognition), I may be snobbish and ignore those on BSO.

At this rate @ianrauk, you'll soon have enough money to buy a decent bike

 

[nilling]

I ignore FKW (Full Kit self-gratification artists)

People are friendlier up in t hills round here than down in the lowlands. I would say that over 90% of people nod, wave or say hi when slogging their guts out in the Pennines, even roadies to mtb'ers and vice versa.

Or at least a new bottle cage...
