Salute them instead
 

Instead of the wave or the nod, I've decided to go to the next logical step and SALUTE them.

I mean, shouldn't we have been doing this all along?
We already respect them.....they're on bikes, right?
The wave or the nod, they've become expected, like a generic "good morning" or "how are you" issued by everyone.
But a SALUTE, now those are reserved for a special few. The people we admire and find intelligent. The people who make a difference.....
You know......cyclists.

I'm going to salute everyone instead now and not only that, I'm going to demand to be saluted by others on the street.

On your feet, soldiers! Now, salute me.

I must admit I've "saluted" some of the idiot drivers we have here in Atlanta who like to honk their horn while they are right next to me.

I salute you, B & D.

Anyone who rides a bike is my fam.

BTW, Ron, maybe the problem is they are, like, brain-impaired. I mean, by the time they realize they want to honk (just to let you know, for your safety) it takes them that long for the message to go from the brain to the hand.

I don't know, maybe?

Forget the salute. I'm going to start throwing rose petals at their feet and yell 'All hail to the cyclist, all hail to the cyclist'.

I give up. :)

When I'm flying along at a blistering 8knots, I don't dare remove a hand from the steering bar to salute Or wave; I just frantically bob my upper body and head up and down frantically in my finest Fred manner.

for those about to ride.....
we salute you.....

I gave my Chef, a snappy military type salute, and guess what I was written off for giving him a salute, when he gave me the papers, I almost fell on my chair, He(Chef) was saying I was insulting him, I said what country did you came from, I said from the old country where I come from When Somebody gives you a military type salute, that guy is giving you an aknowledgement that he considere you his superior, I just went laughing and almost died from it......:confused: :confused: :confused: :D :confused:
