Do all the riders in Amsterdam waive at each other?

I don't think so, but the funny thing is that when I am on a lonely country road I say hello, nodding my head or raise one or two fingers to the few cyclist I come across. Yesterday just after a corner I came across three cyclist from a bike club from a neighbouring town and just after I recognized their teamshirts and said 'hello' I hear 'helmet'. I am not wearing a helmet when I ride alone on flat terrain, which is becoming rare but people telling me to wear a helmet **** me off. A couple of km later I see an approaching rider also not wearing a helmet so he got my attention. It appeared to be Peter Winnen a former pro rider living nearby (won the Alpe d'Huez stage in the TdF two times). I just said 'Hi Peter' and got in my flow again and set a new PB and fastest time for that day on a Strave segment ;-).
