From my recollection bikers on the continent hang a leg rather than raise a hand..
UK riders usually nod, French riders stick there right legs out and Italians are too busy riding fast to do anything. 8)
Serious question: Their right legs?
I'll also wave to considerate car drivers, policemen and kids on the footpath!
I'm just back from riding in the UK. Most two-wheelers I saw were scooters - especially in the rain, the bike riders are pansies and stay indoors. ~; Of the few bikes I saw, about 50% made some kind of acknowledgement; usually a slight sideways nod. No waving - too busy with the traffic.Nick
Yes, around here it's very common for everyone to wave at everyone else. If you walk past someone in the Walmart parking lot, you say "Hi, how are you?", or the other guy will beat you to it. If someone is in his yard raking leaves and looks up, I'll wave from my Guzzi, and he'll wave back. I guess that kind of thing is common in poor, rural counties. In Bethesda, MD, if I'm walking to the mailbox and pass someone walking the other way, he'll most likely pretend to be interested in something in the other direction, so he doesn't have to interact.
