Pointless Rant
 

So as long as i've been on these forums ive read a few threads on the commuting section where people waive to "Roadies" and we dont even acknowledge them. Well today on my ride i saw a bearded man on his recumbent so i go to waive and this guy might as well have givin me the middle finger. WTF lol i'm done being nice.

correct.


generalizations about "roadies" or "commuters" are about as stupid as anything. I wave if I'm on a nice casual ride, generally not if I'm doing intervals or on a hard group ride. Some people I know don't wave at all, some always wave. wtf does it matter.

I agree, pointless. ;)

As far as waving, I always wave but sometimes I just kind of flip some fingers up to wave. I'm sure that some have thought that I didn't wave at all so they thought I was a jerk. I'm okay with that. :D

hahaha that sucks man

but that said sometimes even on foot, you can see a friendly neighbor or, some one you "kinda know" and you wave at them and they give you "that look" as well

^ +9.34 People don't belong in groups, roadie/commuter or waver/nonwaver. People are just...people.

I don't understand. What rights were you waiving exactly? The right of way on the road?

Let's do the Waive. I'll start.

I waive any and all affiliations with the Church of Steel, or Pcad's cult.

I waive my right to wave.

I second the waiver of waving.

I am not waiving my rights by posting here.

I didn't know you were the Giants' GM.

This thread needs Wavy Gravy. He Waves.

I like to wave at waivers, cyclists not so much.

I'm with you. Commuters in their flourescent vests and general look of sour faced misery are the worst people to wave to. I waved at one once. never again. I got a look from him like he just trod in something smelly.

Isn't this a springtime thread?

Don't get upset...typical lazy boy rider. Screw him.

If you have time to wave, you're not riding hard enough.

I wave/nod to most people be they runners, dog walkers, cyclist, bent-ers, etc. Some ignore me but I don't know if they even saw me so I don't really worry about it. I know there are times when I didn't see them too. Just be nice to everyone and f-em if they aren't nice back. Maybe next time they will be.

Here's a wave for ALL on 2 wheels!
