Now you have to acknowledged them also, they are the toughest SOB's I've encountered out there, no matter what the weather is they are riding, it's crazy some days.

What is also crazy is that they (most of the time) don't wear appropriate riding gear. They don't always have a helmet, or riding gloves/jacket. They are either hipster in fancy suits or delivery men riding in a big sweater and snickers in the winter.

I told a few guy friends what I did and they all got a good laugh out of it and wished they could have seen it!

Yes, I do, when they give me room to pass them by on highways for instance, or when they give me way at a crossroad when they don't have to. Being sometimes a cager myself, I always allow bikers to pass me by when riding in heavy traffic.

Nice, I actually laughed out loud at that one!

I'll stick an arm out for anyone on two or three wheels, I'm not that way...

I give the low wave unless needing the clutch. Else a generous nod.

Low wave , but on long rides it's more like this since the pinkys don't bend from being numb .
