I think what gets me is the fact that I live in a rural area. I can go for miles without seeing another walker/runner/car/cyclist. So when I do encounter another living person I generally wave or nod. In the cases where other cyclists don't reciprocate it always seems more than a little like they are going out of their way to avoid making eye contact or acknowledging me...which seems weird and a little rude. Especially since I don't get this from other runners very often (on the rare occasion that I do, again it is men the vast majority of the time).
