Firstly try nodding your head forward.
Secondly, lean your head to the right, so your ear almost touches your shoulder.
Now imagine combining the two so your head goes towards a direction 45 degrees between straight on and to the side.
Voila! The diagonal nod!

Quote:If you overtake another bike do you nod, stick out a boot or put out a hand to acknowledge them? I usually stick out a hand or boot, often wonder if they think the boot means I'm trying to kick them! ha ha
Coming back from Birmingham via the A34 earlier today, I had a bike pass me who appeared to stick out his elbow in response to my wave!
