alienator said:It's human nature, that's all. It's got nothing to do with running or cycling. Some folks wave. Some don't.
I've noticed that when I ride through urban areas close to where I live that most people are not going to nod, speak, or wave to you. It doesn't matter whether they are walking, running, biking, or skating.
But when I ride out in the suburbs and country areas, most of the people will speak or wave to you.
I think the folks that live in the urban areas are just a bit more cautious, and maybe they should be.
