Do you acknowledge other riders?
I typically acknowledge riders going the other direction, but I've noticed on my daily commute that its increasingly rare that I get acknowledged first. Is it now taboo to give a friendly nod to a fellow biker?

Re: Do you acknowledge other riders?
I think commuters and regular riders dont do it so much.
I know I dont generally whilst commuting, my concerntration is elsewhere. |
Re: Do you acknowledge other riders?
I acknowledge others even though I'm only a pillion, I don't see many other pillions do it though :-| I also thank drivers if they move over to let us overtake. Tend to time it exactly as YC does it or if he forgets :lol:

Outside London yes... Inside London no... it seems the not done thing in London. Probably cus you'd spend the whole journey nodding.

The only people I won't wave to are idiot kids on scooters. I even wave to the hairy-assed brigade, although they rarely nod back. I got a nod AND a smile from one a couple of weeks ago. I was so surprised I nearly fell off:D |
Re: Do you acknowledge other riders?
I usually give a nod, makes my other half laugh like hell when i forget i'm driving the car.

Re: Do you acknowledge other riders?
As said.
In london, I never done it. Its a totally different life in the city. Outside london though, im happy to do it on the way home from work, even if the 3-4 miserable feckers who always come the other way don't (mind you, i've stopped now). But when out at the weekends i always nod. The weekend not long back I fealt like a nodding dog :lol: |
Re: Do you acknowledge other riders?
Not much nodding in the city, but outside it's nodding time.
I usually nod at anyone who's opted for two wheels instead of four. Including scooters. |
Re: Do you acknowledge other riders?
i'll nod to anyone on 2 wheels me
though coming through the lakes the other week noticied that NOBODY acknowledged each other sad Bar stewards |
