And about 95% of the time they nod back.
What was cool, or I thought it was anyway, on the second day of STP this year there was a motorcycle in a turn lane and I happened to catch his eye. I smiled and nodded and he nodded back & gave a thumbs up, then went along his way. I've seen motorcyclists nod and wave at each other, but don't think I've seen one respond to a bicyclists. (And no, it was not one of the Gold Wing people this guy was on a Harley and decked out in leathers).

In Copenhagen where over 40% of cyclists are women....no one cares to acknowledge
Just way too many. 
I'll be posting an article about my Copenhagen cycling experience last month...just give me a few days.My Personal blog on cycling & other favourite passions.

I've had several motorcyclists wave and/or nod in my direction. It always has an air of "I see that you are on 2 wheels, too. Cool."
