I had some guy wave from his lawn today when I rode by. What is the proper protocol? it really caught me off guard, especially since he was on my right hand side.

I got a very excited thumbs up and lots of waving yesterday from an old couple in their car in the next lane at a red signal. I just smiled at them. Should I have waved back?

I went by a couple of kids on bicycles a month or so ago and they did the "low wave" and it made me and my wife laugh. It was pretty cool to see kids doing it. And yes, I waved back, even though they were on my right side.

If our founding motorcycle fathers had just put the throttle on the left side, we wouldn't have to deal with this nonsense.
