I was thinking the other day how many times I say something when I pass people. I finally got around to counting.
What else do y’all do when you pass someone? Peace sign? Nothing? Nod of approval?

How many good mornings do you say on a ride?

For some reason, I only say good morning on forested trails. Once I transition back into the neighborhoods, I expect it won’t land the same.
I wave at no one.
Because no one is on my section of the SART at 6am when I’m going to work.

Usually a nod with a smile.
All of them. But I use my hand cause I’m in zone 7 all day long
I don’t say anything, just make eye contact and wave a few fingers, etc.

I was way off with 463,218. 11 is still solid though
Maybe one or two. People in my area aren’t very friendly.
Where I live, people greet each other. When we walk, drive a car, etc. Runners tend to greet, unless they really focus and push hard. Cyclists are a mixed bag. Those on mountain bikes tend to greet. Those on road bikes do not. I think is body position. Greeting makes the world a happier place. Carry on!
If they’re on the same side of the road, then a verbal greeting. If they’re on the other side, give them the hand.
I’m from the UK and For the longest time I thought other cyclists in Spain were a bit rude when you passed them, they never give and acknowledging wave back. It took a while for me to realise that they do a slight head nod here instead of a wave haha.
I still raise my hand slightly and they do the nod, all good!
I’ll say good morning if a cyclist is close passing and they do the same.
in Denmark we usually use ” Go tur” “Have a nice ride” and or a hand wave.
