Wave or not, it is a great story about a kid and his dad and riding.

I wave but often don't look to see if they wave back. I guess that's kind of defeating the purpose but I will stop if I see a stranded rider.

Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't, depends on if I need my hands on the handlebar or not.

Nice story, I usually wave or nod if hands are needed. I see it as a friendly gesture between people who choose to ride on two wheels. Doesn't bother me if the wave is not returned not going to try and decipher the why of it- was the other person busy concentrating on the road, did not see my wave, chooses not to wave back who knows? I wave my choice you wave your choice no right no wrong of it. Ride safe!

Thanks for the Story. I wave when it's safe and I give cagers the finger when they arent.

Good story!

I generally always wave unless it's a safety hazard to have a hand off the bars at the moment. I don't wave on the interstate though. Don't know why I just don't. Maybe because I hate being on the interstate lol.
