Totally agree with Dnvr on this one! I ride my local MUP quite a lot and wave at every cyclist I see. The roadies (with or without Team Kit) are consistant micro-wave (no, not the oven), just raising four fingers up while the thumb stays on the bars (aero esp.).

Some "Freds" wave, but most don't. I see this one Freddly guy almost every time; I wave, he doesn't, but I can't resist, I always wave to him! Then once, last week, he was stopped on the MUP for some reason, and I said, "Hi, how you doin'?" . . . and he actually answered back. I guess he just couldn't resist such overt friendlyness!

So you just never know. I've found recumbent riders about half and half with more waves from long-wheelbase than short wheelbase 'bent riders.

Keep in mind, though, I am usually dressed in cycling shorts and (non-team) jersey, with helmet . . . so maybe the non-wavers just don't like my type!
