Its such a gay moment...I hate it.

I once had a guy coming up from behind as the light turned green. I thought he wanted to have a race and sped off, when he eventually did pass he nodded, poor guy wanted to look at my bike LOL

I never pull beside someone in the same lane. When I wear a ff, talking is out of the question. If they look at me, I'll nod, that's enough. It's not like you don't see many bikes on the road, not around here at least.

I do what EveHD does. Pull up, smile, say hello, then ride on. I really like it when the hot chick in the passenger seat of some guy's Porsche is looking at me and my bike at the intersection.

If I haven't gotten over awkwardness in the past (almost) 50 years, the next 50 are sure going to be dreadful
