  The exception to wave being optional is any little kid on the sidewalk who stares at the bike and waves. &nbsp;You absolutely must wave back.

  I’m waving this way from now on just because you told me not to.

  I wave like a little kid. I stand by it. I giggle every time

  I once waved like a normal pedestrian, hand way up high, to an old Harley Davidson guy. And he smiled and did the same thing. We both knew it wasn&apos;t the normal way. But that smile between 2 fellow squids was well worth it.

  as an uncertified sociopath, I never do group rides<br>I got into riding for the sake of riding, not to deal with people

  I gave the rider wave on a bicycle once. The guy had a good laugh. Mission accomplished.

  I&apos;ll wave how I want to wave. If someone doesn&apos;t like the way I wave, that&apos;s none of my business.

  I love when other riders give me a normal wave lol i threw the biker wave at another dude on a bike and he snaps his head to me and starts normal waving at me and seemed so happy. It made my day.

  I don’t usually wave but when I do I also yell out hello and wave like Forrest Gump 👋🏻

  I am over 60 years old and been riding since i was 13. I have had enduros, super bikes, cruisers, motocross bikes and so on. Helmets are NOT optional equipment. I had a Bell Star ll back in the mid 70&apos;s and got T boned at a four way stop. I had a perfect tire imprint going right across the upper side of that helmet. The driver of the car told me she felt the VW Rabbit bounce over something. My head. It took 4 people to pull the bottom part of the helmet open enough to get that helmet off my head. I was not injured except for my pride. The more protection the better. To this day seeing a rider with out a helmet gives me butterflies in my tummy. Ride alert and have fun.

  When I started riding in 1969, no one did the two fingers down wave. Riders just held a hand up or nodded. This changed in the 90&apos;s to the arm down. That&apos;s how I tell who&apos;s a new(ish) rider.
