I wave at people I know, duh, because I know them. That's what you do when you see someone familiar to you. If I happen to notice someone going out of their way to wave at me, and it doesn't interfere with my ride, maybe I'll nod back or something, but come on.

Seriously folks, if you really get hurt feelings when someone doesn't wave at you, maybe you need to get a job at the DMV or or the IRS or some place where you'll feel what it's like to be REALLY hated, then when you get back on the bike, it won't be so bad that somebody doesn't respond to you.

Sheesh. I got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning...
