LOL, I did this on my bike the other morning at Division and Sprague. The first driver thus enabled to get past me to the little right-turn lane said "thank you" as he rolled by

I'm not into trying to communicate verbally with a rider from a car, though. Too easily misinterpreted, and a distraction to both of us from our driving. I might wave if I think they can see it, but it's not really that easy to see through a windshield a lot of the time.
