I never had that problem while commuting here in the suburbs for the past 19 years. Whatever cyclists I encounter during my commute, they just seem to mind their own business and ride on. Nobody feels obligated to wave or demands to have their waves returned. I think you're just imagining things.

Of course they do. How could it be any other way in your (imaginary) life?

Lot of BS in this comment on top of looking for solutions for self induced fantasized problems.

I wonder when Mikey D will get banned yet again for trolling?

Jeepforums.net is down the hall.

Even if everyone were to wave, how could that possibly create a “problem” for you?

Waving and returning waves isn't even on my mind when I am out riding so it wouldn't be a problem for me. I don't feel obligated to wave or return a wave at every cyclist i may encounter during my ride.

That's not what your post suggested. You essentially wrote that you have never a problem because people don't wave.

A boy can dream, can't he?

Random cyclists are not the issue. On a commute, you generally see the same cyclists at or near the same spots daily. This leads to familiarity which soon spirals into a wave. If there are 15 plus of these encounters daily it disrupts the zen of a commute.

Don’t hold your breath, clicks are good from IB’s perspective. As long as he doesn’t endanger their Google rating he will get a long rope.

Adjusted for accuracy.

Waive the wave movement thus launched.

I can't decide if I want to rent from Hertz or Avis, dear God give me a sine...

Hanging Jeep-branded e-bikes on Wranglers for fashion is also a thing. Not content with a 35" tire with a fancy rim, some have taken to hanging these monsters in front of the spare tire, I suspect more for looks than function.

Regardless, the wave situation has been brought to a satisfying conclusion. I have adjusted my commute route and no longer pass my committed waves. I ignore any new cyclists I encounter. Fool me once...

Sounds like a big win for the cycling community.

Jeeps, out performing the rest in JD Powers and Consumer reports 15 years running as the least reliable. Range Rover and Land Rovers also share the honors. Don’t know why people can’t do a little research before a major purchase and/or lease. But it’s a Jeep thing, you wouldn’t understand.

The rowing forums members have to be happy that he seems to be riding again.

Clearly not appreciating the polite society that is Canada. He deserves to live in the US. I'll gladly trade with him.

I'd just do a quick nod.

I owned an affordable sports car in its early years of production, bought it used, so had missed whatever orientation is provided by the owners club that I had not joined, and in the first weeks, driving on two-lane early Sunday morning so light traffic, one of same came from the opposite direction and gave me a quick wave as they passed. I later learned this was common. It fit. This was a car that brought happiness, and low enough priced for the common person, no snobbery.

A polite wave or nod from a fellow bike commuter is positive on so many levels. Mutual respect. Acknowledgement of both doing your part for a better society, especially by not using petrol or diesel fuel at a time of rapidly increasing prices. Saving the world by reducing carbon output. And just plain friendliness. I envy Canada, now more than ever.

Did this guy escape from The Prisoner?

I stopped on my bike to help out a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon that was dead at a stoplight. Nothing I could do, got towed, turned out was the super-main fuse for everything, not easily accessible. Under warranty still. Owner said they had already replaced the whole dash, and the whole engine, both under warranty or recall. She was afraid to keep it past warranty, was going to sell it. You're right, reliability and quality ratings on Wranglers are terrible. The type of vehicle, may be used way out in the boonies, that should be designed for high reliability. Fortunately the woman was a young RN, making piles of money, work steady then could take weeks off, so venturing far afield. Came from MN where snow was a thing; Snow in Seattle is extremely rare, and they close the steep streets.

No, that's not his department...
