Do you wave to other riders?
>>1996838Mostly the head nod. Gives some plausible deniability for both parties.Sometimes a low wave after I pass someone, if they moved over for me.
i do if they look chill and are similar to me.
Only other lycra freds, old ladies, and little kids on training wheels being followed by their dads (I don't wave to the dad unless he's a lycra fred). Everyone else sucks and I don't want to see them or acknowledge their existence.
i dont wave at anyone and theyve never waved at me maybe its an american cultural thing
>>1996838Only if it's before 5:00 in the morning. I wave everyone who is training at that time.
>>1996848i would not wave to you
>>1996840I do the nod
>>1996838I'm a both hands stay deathgripped on the handlebars until i reach a full and complete stop kind of guy.
>>1996838Only on the trail.
>>1996889I said only if you're followed by your dad. I don't make a habit of waving at children otherwise since an adult male being friendly to a child alone might be misconstrued.
>>1996838if we make eye contact I do the head nod. if I notice a driver or ped has been considerate to me w/r/t traffic, I'll wave but usually just the "keep hand on bar and raise fingers while making eye contact" wave. this may be a southern US thing, I don't know. the only time I really wave is not for greeting but to wave-through other traffic when they have ROW or to indicate I wish to cede ROW to them, both of which which I do quite frequently.
I don't and I'm quite sad about it. I don't think it's in my imagination that racers are disgusted by us unracers and don't even consider us worth a nod.

>>1996921When I wave unracers they never wave back so I stopped. Same with grumpy old men riding rim brake road bikes
>>1996838No, when I'm on my bike I hate everyone on the road. Probably because I'm either cycling to work or eager to get home.Also the highest gear I can get to on my poorly adjusted rear gears keeps skipping if I press on the pedals too hard.
>>1996930>gears keeps skipping if I press on the pedals too hard.Fix your shit.
>>1996906I like to lift both hands off the handlebars, like a "woah there, partner" gesture, if I'm stopped and intending to yield to another road user.A very clear indication I'm not going anywhere until the hands grab the bars again.
I just yell HEY CUNT at couriers.
>>1996901>worried about waving at childrenJust give them a thumbs up, they know what it means.>>1996906>to wave-through other traffic when they have ROWIf a cager is doing the wrong thing at an intersection, first they get a 3x "headshake No", then a "thumb out, cutting head off" gesture, then a middle finger.Don't encourage their regressive, "gracious" behavior.
>>1996901(You) suck, and i do not want to acknowledge your existence
>>1996929yea, i don't wave to lycrafags.
>>1996962hmm, I'll try it
I just nod in a non committal way and assume they saw the quality, rarity and desirability of my custom built fillet brazed 90s mtb decked out with Chris King, Ringle and Gravity Research
>>1996838>mini velo familyspotted yesterdaymeme magic is real
>>1997256look at all that wasted space between the bikes. a car would be much more efficient
I live in Florida, the only other riders are the homeless. Best not to make eye contact.
>>1996838I always lift my fingers for others on similar bikes. Exceptions: I'm climbing, I'm on a grandpa bike.
>>1996838In the countryside I might say moinIn the city no one even looks at each other
>>1996838Why anime?
