Got a thumbs up!
On my way home from school today, I had a nice tailwind and came up on a slow car in front of me. I slowed slightly, but was still going at over 40 km/h (~25 mph). I noticed that the four young guys in the car noticed me hanging on behind them, so they matched my speed for a while (likely to see how fast I was going), and during a slight climb when I still kept up with them, the guy in the passenger seat opened the door slightly, stuck his head out to look at me, smiled and gave me a thumbs up! At the end of the climb, they sped off.

Nice to be recognized rather than harassed by teens. 
BTW, your fair city was one of my first stops as a young traveler, long, long ago...

Four teenagers in one car? And they didn't throw anything at you? Sweden sounds nice!
