Mostly the head nod. Gives some plausible deniability for both parties.
Sometimes a low wave after I pass someone, if they moved over for me.

Only other lycra freds, old ladies, and little kids on training wheels being followed by their dads (I don't wave to the dad unless he's a lycra fred). Everyone else sucks and I don't want to see them or acknowledge their existence.

Only if it's before 5:00 in the morning. I wave everyone who is training at that time.

I said only if you're followed by your dad. I don't make a habit of waving at children otherwise since an adult male being friendly to a child alone might be misconstrued.

if we make eye contact I do the head nod. if I notice a driver or ped has been considerate to me w/r/t traffic, I'll wave but usually just the "keep hand on bar and raise fingers while making eye contact" wave. this may be a southern US thing, I don't know. the only time I really wave is not for greeting but to wave-through other traffic when they have ROW or to indicate I wish to cede ROW to them, both of which which I do quite frequently.

I don't and I'm quite sad about it. I don't think it's in my imagination that racers are disgusted by us unracers and don't even consider us worth a nod.

When I wave unracers they never wave back so I stopped. Same with grumpy old men riding rim brake road bikes

No, when I'm on my bike I hate everyone on the road. Probably because I'm either cycling to work or eager to get home.
Also the highest gear I can get to on my poorly adjusted rear gears keeps skipping if I press on the pedals too hard.

I like to lift both hands off the handlebars, like a "woah there, partner" gesture, if I'm stopped and intending to yield to another road user.
A very clear indication I'm not going anywhere until the hands grab the bars again.

Just give them a thumbs up, they know what it means.

>>1996906
>to wave-through other traffic when they have ROW
If a cager is doing the wrong thing at an intersection, first they get a 3x "headshake No", then a "thumb out, cutting head off" gesture, then a middle finger.
Don't encourage their regressive, "gracious" behavior.

I live in Florida, the only other riders are the homeless. Best not to make eye contact.

I always lift my fingers for others on similar bikes. Exceptions: I'm climbing, I'm on a grandpa bike.

Unfortunate, the cooler half of the year is perfect riding weather. Fellow Floridanon from Lakeland here.
