when i used to ride motorbikes before i came off ('poof' my confidence in my abilities at speed never returned), there was always an understanding that if you passed a fellow biker you would do a little head tilt to either the left or the right depending on which side of the road you were on as a small greeting,salutaion and acknowledgement. it was great to be part of a massive gang, could we as cyclists not come up with a quirky nod when passing our fellow riders it just sometimes seems like a lonely road which we all travel, i'm not suggesting we work towards being like those nodding dogs you see on the back shelves of cars but surely we can do better than just pretending we have'nt seen each other[:(]

    I dunno hey, I reckon grabbing the crotch (your own!) and rearranging would do the trick.

    I adapted the nod and thumbs up job. Purely because a chap i see everday will wave if i am on work bike, but wont wave if i on summer bike (in superman outfit). i am trying to make it unique so maybe one day he will realise i am the same person.

    I work hard because millions on benefits depend on me
