An odd obversation

[VNA]

When I've been riding a lot and then get in the car I still find myself nodding to riders - can't seem to help it.

You should try the Scottish Islands.  Generally, it doesn't matter if you are walking, cycling, riding a bike, driving a car, mowing the lawn.  Everybody waves, nods says hello.

Then you get back to the mainland.  It takes a good few miles to adjust again. 

I sometimes think on nice sunny weekends, when everybody is out, all this waving and nodding starts to get in the way of enjoying a ride.  It's just constant.

Yup, always nod to the police bikers round here, they always nod or wave back.  Plus I've followed them a few times filtering in heavy traffic on the M8, a wee blast of the music and lights makes all the difference.

Oh while I generally nod and wave all the time, I don't do it half way through roundabouts, negotiating junctions or when fully blasting round tight corners.  I notice others do, it can compromise your focus on what your doing.

blah blah blah.
