I will initiate the wave if I happen to see them first. It doesn't matter what their riding. If it's motorized and has 2 wheels, I wave

It depends on the direction (D)I am heading...time of day in military time(T)..ambient temperature (AT) what day it is (DAY) the season of the year (S) and if I am coming or going to my original destination. (CG)

So the formula is (DxT) *AT -DAY/ (S*CG)= WAVE FIRST

Now sometimes this is a challenge to work this all out while riding.
