It goes both ways. When I'm on my commuter, roadies in spandex don't wave to me. I think they are busy sneering at the fenders and saddlebags. And of course when I'm in my spandex and on the road bike.... wait, never mind, I've never seen another commuter in real life so I'm not sure if they'd wave at me. But the triathlete looking people don't wave at me no matter what.
Most of the time though I don't think it's people being rude, I think it's just people who are too focused on what they're doing that they don't notice somebody doing the casual 'cyclist wave.' However, I have been told that I give human beings far too much credit sometimes and I should just admit that people are dogs.
