    I always nod to anyone on two wheels if they dont nod back that is there problem dont take it personally
    If you ride the same route and see the same riders every day just keep nodding eventually they will nod back
    Youll get more respect and a nod from most riders if you are one of the "sensible" riders who wear a proper jacket and some gloves while riding

    am always nodding to other riders be them sport bikes - leader bikes or learners like us . some hate us and say in heads get a proper bike, others dont care and just see two wheels is just that and its those that tend to give the most nods .

    I think this is a nice way to be with other riders and you never know when you might need each other

    In London found people are a little too concerned avoiding other 'roadusers';) to bother,only time i've given or received a nod is when riding out into the country on long stretches & there's generally just the 2 of us in passing.

    Or maybe there's just too many of us. If I nodded at every person on two wheels, I'd have cramps in my neck by the time I get to work. ;)

    I give other fellow 2 wheeled users a nod, weather they reply or not, maybe they are concentrating and might not notice, whatever the reason its ok.

    I used to I don't bother much anymore. I'm often on the scooter and when on the scooter bikers never nod back.
