It's been a good week!

A - W

Now with nearly a year of commuting under my belt I'd all but given up on commuting cyclists exchanging a little nod or glance and smile.

However twice this week I have had a nod and a 'Morning' from fellow commuters.

Maybe this is down to the darker/colder(?) morning/evenings and the general commuters have retired for the winter so only the true enthusiasts are left?

Anyway it was nice even just the two times in the year.

I find in central london there are no accknowledgments at all

I get a hello from other roadies who happen to commute rather than the stereotypical commuters (who might not be aware of the saying hello thing)

I try and say hello to most cyclists, but haven't had much response here (in Glasgow). Did have one guy say that it was "quite busy" the other night.

I have the occasional chat at the lights in central london, mainly in response to observing some hideous driving.

if you said hello to every other cyclist you'd lose your voice by you got to the office.

Hello to you all.

Make do with that, and don't bother smiling or waving to me when I'm cycling. I'm a typical bloody Londoner.

if someone's coming the other way and nod of the head is sufficient

If I did that on my commute, I'd end up with RSI of the chin within a week

A rather attractive young lady did say "you can go" the other night at some lights. That could easily have been mis-heard and mis-interpreted, had I been of the unmarried persuasion... :oops:
