And, I thought I was the only one. Yes, it is true people can and do get into the Zone, but to be honest I would be happy just for a nod or some sign of recoginition. When I pass a person going in the same direction I always say "On Your Left, Please!" As I pass them I say "Thank you, Good Morning!". My friends who are teaching me about riding have stressed the importance of being nice to people and drivers. I do my best, but it does bother me when someone does not respond. Maybe I'm expecting too much, maybe I'm expecting people to think like me or maybe I'm just making more out of something than I should. Do not know, but I'll keep on doing it, with the hope more and more people will respond.
