How come every time I get to arguing with a pinhead war buff, he winds up running out of articulable ideas and just calls me a faggot, Communist, or-- my favorite-- fat. Like that makes any valid point or could even hurt my feelings? Weird. Too bad he didn't call you a "Nazi", then (under Usenet rules) we could declare this thread dead. "Fat" should be added to the terminator list anyway, it's even less clever than "Nazi". |

I'm top posting because I don't want to change what Chalo wrote.
Any who, Chalo, I wave or give "the Nod" to all cyclists I pass on the road. And, I take no umbrage with those that don't nod or wave back. I figure they just didn't see me. As far as motorcyclists go, I don't make an effort to wave, simply because they are usually too far away to even notice me. However, when I stop next to a bitch'n bike at a stoplight I do give the rider their "props" on a bike well done. (I'm soon to rejoin the motorcycle brotherhood myself.) Oh yea, I wear "the cyclists uniform" too. Chalo wrote: I spend more time on my motorbike than on my pushbikes most weeks, and I get to take part in the motorcyclists' quaint tradition of waving to each other when they pass on the road. (VW bus drivers do this too, I remember.) Rare is the motorcyclist who intentionally refuses this gesture to his two-wheeled motoring brethren. Even racer-wannabees and outlaw-biker-wannabees, otherwise largely at odds, will extend the hand of greeting to each other in passing. Being in the habit of delivering the friendly wave at a second's notice, I often find myself waving to bicyclists when out riding my own bicycle. Yesterday, I was riding my big blue chopper Babe down the waterfront bike lanes to meet some of my Dead Baby Bikes club compatriots. Riding high and mighty, and sporting my club colors, I was making a point of delivering the wave to all the cyclists who passed my way. A lot of them, maybe most, replied in kind. Many did not, and most of those seemed willful about it. No big deal, of course, but there was something in common with all those who did not wave or smile or say hello. To a one, those riders who seemed to ignore my greeting were Cycling Enthusiasts in uniform-- wearing Lycra in colors not found in nature, topped with styrofoam hats, riding road bikes of recent vintage and uncomfortable-looking rider position. Along with their regalia they wore expressions between serious and grim. They rode by, all of them, as if they failed to notice the near-7-foot, near-400-pound guy on a 6-foot tall chopper waving to them as they passed. Yet all the other folks on bikes (the ones wearing mostly real clothes, regardless of the type of bike or speed with which they rode) had some kind of acknowledging response, mostly very friendly. Is this consistent with anyone else's experience? Are folks who wear "Superduperbikeman" getups playing some character role from which they fear to depart? What's the deal?
