To my knowledge, I have never been waved at in my three plus years of regular riding. Nor have I ever waved to anyone (that one I'm sure about).
You're not my wife under a pseudonym are you?
Here in Colorado people wave all the time. One time I was riding with my wife and waved at another rider and she asks, "Do you know that guy?" And I said no so she says that's weird and nobody does that (how she would know I have no idea since she rides her bike like once a year). We had a long "discussion" about it and she insisted that I not wave at any female cyclists.
