Soooo ... let's see if I understand: the fact that I can't be arsed to "wave" to other persons -- who with idiotic grins on their faces appear to think that the mere fact that 'we' are both riding bicycles somehow puts us in some kind of 'relationship' (eeeewww!) -- riding a bicycle is somehow tantamount to "racism"?
Amazing! "Waving" threads (which this one has degenerated into) are typically moronic, but this takes the cake. With reference to another of your posts below (#56), I'd suggest that it is you who needs a good therapist.
