Simply say "good day!" Any day that you can get out and ride a bike is a good day for me.
One time I came up on this nice lady that was in the wrong gear and looking like she was about to go backwards. I simply said that she would do better in lower gear in front and the big gear in the back. Then I find that she did not know how to change the gears and once done she simply said that she had the bike for 2 years and never changed the gears. Keep in mind that some of the cyclists are making another try at something we do all the time. The Bikes now are not the same as they new before.
Sometimes I ask if they are okay. You never know if they are lost or disoriented. I am not shy to ask.
