A Lesson from Bikers

One thing I really enjoy about riding my motorcycle is the way other riders throw their arm out and wave when you pass to acknowledge you. It’s kind of a “Hey, you’re part of the club” thing that makes the whole experience even more fulfilling. I wonder, why don’t we do that when we drive our cars? How about when we’re pushing that shopping cart down the aisle?
What if we all took the time to wave and greet a passing shopper or motorist? What could happen? Maybe someone would actually wave back and smile. We just might start a trend. It sounds like a worthwhile experiment to me.

I used to work at the Minneapolis airport and all the tug drivers would do that.
Jeep Wrangler owners wave to each other.
Yeah, I’ve seen a few other people do a similar wave, nod or something. It’s always a cool thing to see.
as a cycler, i have found varying degrees of comraderie. mountain bike riders are almost always smiling and waving to fellow adventurers. road riders are much to fast to be bothered with such silliness. but here in Big D it throws everything out of whack. Even my own neighbors rarely return a friendly wave. Boo metropolis apathy
@ Carl - That’s because Jeep Wrangler owners are awesome.
