Here's something to send you all giddy, DDD; I've actually spoken to msmancunia in meatspace! Just before she disappeared for her swanky new gig. I don't think it was anything I said.

First time I've heard this term and for some reason I thought it was an S&M club until I looked it up!

DDD, looking at a picture of msmancunia as I type! Yup, very pretty lady she is too. There's even a contact number for her (though I suspect it's a work no.)

The Google-fu is strong in this one! 8)

I tend to acknowledge the regulars and do the not-actually-out-of-breathe cheery hello as I pass someone. Occasionally it turns into a brief chat. But if they blind me with stupid lights that can be seen from spaceI yell at them.

I say morning to people I pass if it's not busy. As for a cyclists' nod it's not something I do or had done to me. Most people I encounter on a bike probably couldn't give a left testicle about bikes and are just on them as a means to get to work.

What kind of a girl do you think I am!

I guess the road bike riders who blank me are from the not MTB or Hybrid club.......

Can't see the point in adding weight to my bike by having bendy bars!

I aknowledge all....like KB, seeing fellow riders is rare so it tends to be an emotional event....

well I'm not gonna go to the lengths of hunting for a photo of her or seeking out her mobile number... I just wanted to know why she gets so much nods and see if this is something we could replicate for safety purposes...

*phhhhhft!* are you sure there aren't any tears? Of course, you could always use copper grease in an emergency..

On my commute, I see some cyclists who nod with every pedal stroke.

Parts of my commute are so lonely I once said good morning to a passing dog walker. it was only the once though and I've never seen him again.
