Slight Hijack:

OK, I know I'm new. But whenever I pass cyclists, I wave, nod, say "hi"...something. Even if I'm working hard....

Half the time I get a friendly response, half the time...I'm ignored. What's the deal? Are these the real FREDs who are so self-absorbed that they're rude?

So, is the 50%/50% experience common or unusual to my area?
