I once had a friend go by me in his car, honk and yell hello and later tell me I was a "just another cycling snob" for not responding and waving back.

I respectfully pointed out that I was doing almost 40 mph down a very busy highway hill and any disruption in concentration and focus could have been disastrous, particulary since some fool was honking and yelling at me.

I consider myself very social on my bike and try to be friendly to everyone. But there are limits.
