My morning ride takes me up to Ashland along bike route 1. Plenty of friendly people out on warm mornings, all of them get a wave regardless of baggy shorts or mirrors or whatever. I do tend to swing wide when passing people of a certain attire, though, because in my experience they tend to be much more startled than people who look like they spend more time on the road. Passed a lady this morning with about 8 feet of clearance, I moved over the double yellow lines and gave her a loud but not alarming "good morning" as I came by on her left. She still nearly went off the road to her right and yelled at me. Sometimes you can't win.
