Today I shall blow kisses towards all passing cyclists. Will report back later!

Reporting back: 37 imperceptible nods, one black eye and two phone numbers.
The things I do for science...

Were the phone numbers from a male or female?

I so want to dish one out on this thread just for the sake of it... shall I?

Phone numbers from blokes but at least the black eye was from a woman. Such is life.

So we can safely conclude that 40% are proper cyclists who nod and 60% are silly weirdos that shouldn't allowed into our group.

I think there should be some sort of campaign, maybe radio or TV, advising cyclists of the correct etiquette. When we get our act together, it would go some way to demonstrating to drivers that we are a civilised bunch and care should be taken around us. I'm thinking something along the lines of...

Be a proper cyclist, be a safe cyclist, nod hello. If you don't, you're only making it more dangerous for the rest of us.

That's a bit long winded how about

I call not yet. I have a feeling a proper kerching could be just a few posts away. Getting into the four page territory someone won't be arsed to read the first three, then wham, kerching city....

What did you really expect?

Out of 40 posts, maybe one or two. Is that asking too much?
