Have a read through all these threads http://londonbikers.com/forums/Search1-2-1.aspx?SessionID=210tys45ea1ssaiare5imdfe&SortBy=12&SortOrder=1

i guess nodding is out of date now?

Nah, keep nodding, its them that has the problemā€¦i get a buzz when a fellow biker gives me the ā€œhello mateā€ā€¦:slight_smile: But ive had the odd a-hole as well, lets face it, its not set in stone they have to nod back, maybe they cant do two things at once eh? Nod back and remember to look at the road sort of thing? ha ha ha

I will nod back at youā€¦:stuck_out_tongue:

Blimey, thats a lot of ā€œnodsā€ cods !! ā€¦:stuck_out_tongue:

If I nodded at every bike I saw when I used to commute along the A40 to Chiswick I think my head would have dropped off!! Donā€™t expect to much in the way of return nods in rush hour, people just want to get to or from work. At the weekend itā€™s a different story, if they donā€™t nod back at ya then they are rude :slight_smile:

Yep, thats a good point Tiggs :slight_smile:

it was the look look me in the the eye that got me, look at the bike yes no prob but to look at you in the eye at slow speed. Think it must be an n11 thing:crazy: and ive let me self down smoking again 0 s**t

I agree, doesnā€™t take much to nod back to somebody, especially when itā€™s not that many of those who greet you on the road. Nice gesture and so effortless.

I tend to only do it if I get nodded to, which happens rarely when commuting, no one has time for that, only weekend riders to, also think you only get nodded depending on the bike you ride, you on a nice sports bike you get nods, you on a commuter bikeā€¦ you get fuko.

Generally I donā€™t bother nodding in Londonā€¦not saying anything against the people here, just dont seem to get anything back most of the time :slight_smile: Donā€™t really get that problem elsewhere in England.

No biggy :slight_smile:

+1 except for if its the same bike as mine :stuck_out_tongue: :smiley:

Iā€™ve all but given up with the London nod thing too :slight_smile: I still say hallo at traffic lights mostly tho! Iā€™ve also nodded when Iā€™m in the car that got a strange look back :hehe: If i get a nod back tho, i do wonder if its someone from this forum! So maybe the nod will become our secret handshake!!

OMG, thats bikeist!!!

This happens once in a blue moon :stuck_out_tongue: How many of my bike do you see? Honestly? :stuck_out_tongue:

thereā€™s no-one like you ally

And what does that mean huh? :stuck_out_tongue:

Must admit I never nod on my commute in London. Would be nothing personal if I ignored you, too busy looking out for idiots trying to kill me.

I save the nodding stuff for outside of London when iā€™m out to enjoy the ride.

I also try to avoid talking at the lights, not to be antisocial, the main reason is I have trouble hearing what anyone is saying through a helmet and ear plugs, so I just end up nodding to whatever theyā€™re on about, probably telling me my rear wheel is loose :w00t:

He means your speshial :wink:

I nod to everyone and get blanked 90% of the time. hehe. Maybe L plates has somethign to do with it.
